The first Bitcoin Policy Summit will be held on April 26th, 2023. Policymakers such as US Senator Ted Cruz and US Senator Cynthia Lummis, along with House Majority Leader Tom Emmer, met with Bitcoin industry leaders to discuss the significance of Bitcoin, both from the perspective of national and economic security, and in relation to human rights. Alex Gladstein is the Chief Strategy Officer of Human Rights Foundation. Jack Mallers is Strike’s CEO. Roya Mahboob is Digital Citizen Fund’s CEO and co-founder.
Ted Cruz, the Senator from Texas, made headlines during the summit of 2023 when he said that he would not attend. revealing He was: “incredibly bullish on Bitcoin specifically“He may have been expressing his preference for Bitcoins over other digital assets. He also said: “I own a little more than 2 bitcoin, and every Monday I own a little bit more. I bought the dip.” Cruz’s optimism appears well-founded. Bitcoin was trading at around $28,000 per coin when he made his statement in 2023.
