#GENIUSAct Trump not only signed a law, but also validated an entire generation.

For over a decade, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiasts have been reduced to the stereotype of the hacker, the speculator, or the naive young person who thinks they will change the world with code. They have been ridiculed by the media, ignored by institutions, and pursued by regulators. Meanwhile, they kept building. Without permission, without pause.

And then, on July 18, 2025, in the most powerful room on the planet, the President of the United States signed the GENIUS Act. Beside him, with the microphone in hand, he said: "For years, you have been ridiculed, ignored, and abandoned. This signature is a great testament to the courage of your work, your pioneering spirit, and your ability to never give up."

It was not a grand phrase. It was a historic admission. The powerful recognized that, despite all the obstacles, that community operating on the margins turned out to be correct. The revolution was not a threat. It was a prelude. And the system, which worked so hard to prevent it, had no choice but to participate.

It is not a victory, it is a shift in axis

This moment is not just a claim; it is a profound change in the architecture of power. Institutional recognition does not erase what came before, but transforms the present. What was marginal now becomes part of the center. What was once ridiculed is now taken as a reference. And yet, this does not mark the end of the journey, but rather the beginning of a new stage.

Because, once the system accepts the inevitable, the next step is to try to shape it in its image. Regulate it, adapt it, absorb it. And that is where the most complex battle takes place: keeping the decentralized essence alive amidst the officialization. Not everyone celebrates for the same reasons. Some see this signature as the realization of a vision. Others see it as an opportunity to control what they could not destroy.
