Mauricio explains how banks entering the space could drive rates lower and why Ledn is focused solely on Bitcoin. Mauricio also shares his personal story of growing up in Venezuela under hyperinflation, discovering Bitcoin, and building Ledn to give people everywhere access to the same financial tools. ...

1k 100% agreed you need both Medium of Exchange and Store of Value. The Bitcoin that are held by ETF custodian lose the MoE function. We gotta educate people as so many are considering moving their coins to ETF because “self custody is hard”. That would destroy Bitcoin’s value. SoV cannot existing alone.

500 While he’s not ENTIRELY wrong… as in I wouldn’t be able to say for certain that the state won’t do a 180 and turn against bitcoin and outlaw it (I agree that if our governments collectively outlaw bitcoin, anyone who owns in will be jailed for 10 years, then we could be in trouble), I think he failed to listen to Natalie’s point of “we are not seeing it”. Bitcoin being embraced by the elites is seen as a negative by Dave (“Larry Fink is not your friend”), but at the same time after Larry Fink embraces it we can be pretty comfortable that the “anyone who owns it gets sent to jail” won’t be happening.
