Former UFC Champion Conor McGregor has also joined crypto. Trump has come a long way since his Irish presidential election campaigns included Bitcoin in his campaign. McGregor is also running as an independent in the Irish presidential election, and Bitcoin has become part of this campaign.
McGregor said that Ireland should buy Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, but he did not say where the money would come from and how much it would cost. It is also said that if Bitcoin is bought and collected, the power will return to the hands of the people in accordance with the principle of Bitcoin's lack of central control.
As Ireland is currently within the EU, the approval of important laws such as the EU's MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) and the purchase and storage of Bitcoin will require the support of legislators along with the central bank, so even if McGregor, who is running as an independent, becomes president, it may be difficult to see Bitcoin reserves in Ireland.
However, McGregor is also using Bitcoin as a campaign, following Trump's heart, so it will be interesting to see if he can be as successful as Trump. One thing is that McGregor was not able to provide a satisfactory solution regarding the REAL token he issued, and now that he is campaigning for Bitcoin Reserves, the percentage of success may be quite low.
