JD Vance Predicts Bitcoin Ownership Will Reach 100 Million Soon at Bitcoin 2025 Event

JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, spoke positively about cryptocurrency at the annual Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas. He presented a bullish view on technology, equating the crypto industry to a significant, grassroots innovation that's already benefiting thousands of people. Vance forecasted that Bitcoin ownership would soon reach 100 million.

He also championed crypto as a safeguard against poor policy in Washington, rampant inflation, and discrimination from the private sector based on consumers' fundamental beliefs, including politics. Vance addressed the controversial operation Chokepoint 2.0, promising that the Trump administration would not undermine the crypto community.

He denounced weaponized regulators, mentioning the dismissal of Gary Gensler, and pledged to remove similar figures, arguing that under the guise of consumer protection, they hinder efforts to democratize financial markets.
