Bitcoin to Behave Similarly to Gold for Next Few Thousand Years: US Government’s Top Crypto Executive

by

Well, well, well… the ever-so-enigmatic Bitcoin! Always the subject of intense fascination, and today, even making its way into the hallowed halls of the White House! Our favorite Bitcoiner and self-proclaimed “Pomp”—Anthony Pompliano—sat down with none other than Bo Hine, the Executive Director of the US President’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets. What did they talk about, you ask? Oh, just a casual chat about BTC, the US government’s plans for it, and Hine’s enlightened perspective on Bitcoin’s shimmering future in the market. No big deal.

The interview, which took place in the revered White House, brought to light several nuggets of wisdom from Hine. Among them, the bold announcement of an initiative that will send Bitcoin enthusiasts into a frenzy: the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Yes, you read that correctly, folks—your tax dollars may just be going to secure Bitcoin. How utterly poetic!

I went to the White House to interview @BoHines about the administration’s crypto plans.

We talked about the US strategic bitcoin reserve, stablecoins, regulation, how decisions are being made, gold, tariffs, law enforcement, motivational aspect inside Trump admin, biggest…

“Bitcoin to Perform Similarly to Gold” in the Long Run

Now, let’s talk about Bitcoin’s future—because if there’s one thing the world loves, it’s speculating about the future of Bitcoin. Pompliano, ever the inquisitive interviewer, posed the question: Could Bitcoin act like gold, enduring through the ages, providing a safe harbor for wealth? To which Bo Hine responded with an air of certainty and grandiosity, as if talking about an ancient prophecy. Yes, Hine firmly believes that Bitcoin will indeed follow the illustrious footsteps of gold, becoming just as enduring and reliable over the next few thousand years. After all, who wouldn’t want a digital gold rush?

In Hine’s official capacity as a government mouthpiece, he echoed the sentiment of the US Council of Advisers for Digital Assets and—surprise, surprise—Donald Trump himself, who’s apparently quite enamored with Bitcoin. Trump, in his wisdom, believes Bitcoin is the digital equivalent of gold. And to ensure its long-term survival, the administration has a plan: A “digital Fort Knox” of Bitcoin. What could go wrong? 😏

Hine’s Bitcoin Message to Average Americans

Bo Hine, ever the sagely figure, also took a moment to impart some wisdom to the average American—through Pompliano’s ever-popular podcast. His message was clear and, dare we say, a little condescending, but perhaps that’s just the nature of being a government insider: Yes, Bitcoin is “digital gold,” and yes, the US government already holds nearly 200,000 Bitcoins. Oh, and don’t worry, they’re planning to accumulate a cool million more in the coming years. No big deal, right?

But here’s the kicker: While Bitcoin might seem like the investment opportunity of the century, Hine did offer a word of caution. The crypto market, as anyone who’s had a heart attack from watching the price of BTC knows, is volatile. So, for those of you out there thinking of putting your life savings into Bitcoin, Hine recommends that you take a deep breath, consult some professionals, and maybe not put all your eggs in one very volatile basket. Smart advice, but let’s face it, we’re all in for the ride anyway, right?

Hine also shared his excitement for blockchain technology, which, in his opinion, will revolutionize the financial and banking systems. As he put it, communication via the Internet has transformed drastically over the past two decades, yet the financial system remains a clunky mess. Well, fear not! Blockchain is going to come in and sweep all that away, like a digital broom of progress. Hine has faith, after all, that Bitcoin, despite its rebellious beginnings and despite the likes of BlackRock now cozying up to it, still delivers on what it was created for—storing value and moving funds swiftly and cheaply. How touching. 💸
