Crypto Chaos: Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Why You Should Care!

by

Ah, the illustrious White House, that grand edifice where decisions are made, and occasionally, where the odd crypto summit takes place. This Friday, March 7, the air will be thick with anticipation as President Donald Trump’s Crypto Summit takes shape, albeit with a guest list that could fit comfortably in a cozy tea room. A mere 20 to 25 invitees, it seems, have been summoned to partake in this digital jamboree. One can only wonder if the invitations were delivered by carrier pigeon or perhaps a rather sprightly intern.

Who’s Gracing the Summit with Their Presence?

According to the ever-reliable FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, the roundtable format is the culprit behind this rather exclusive gathering. Among the illustrious attendees are the likes of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and a veritable pantheon of crypto luminaries, including Crypto Czar David Sacks and Bo Hines, the Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets. One can only imagine the riveting discussions that will ensue over tea and crumpets!

But wait, there’s more! For those who find themselves on the outside looking in, a larger, invite-only reception is being planned across the street from the White House. It’s like a party where you’re not quite cool enough to get in, but hey, there’s always the after-party, right?

Among the confirmed attendees are the likes of Michael Saylor, Bitcoin Inc CEO David Bailey, and the ever-enthusiastic Paradigm founder Matt Huang. It’s a veritable who’s who of the crypto world, and one can only hope they’ve all brushed up on their small talk. “What’s your favorite blockchain?” is bound to be a conversation starter.

In a delightful twist, Terrett revealed that invites were sent via email, which is a rather modern approach for such a high-profile event. The summit is set to run from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, which gives everyone ample time to discuss the finer points of digital assets before dashing off to their next engagement.

Michael Saylor, ever the social media maven, took to X to announce his attendance, while Kyle Samani of Multicoin expressed his eagerness to collaborate with the Trump administration. One can only hope they have a good supply of coffee to fuel those discussions!

However, not all is rosy in the crypto garden. Notably absent from the guest list is Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who has been vocal about the need for unity in the crypto industry. One can only imagine him pacing back and forth, wondering if his invitation got lost in the digital ether.

As the clock ticks down to the summit, the crypto world holds its breath. Will there be surprises? Will there be snubs? And most importantly, will there be cake? Only time will tell!

At press time, Bitcoin was trading at a staggering $87,033, which is enough to make anyone’s head spin.
