Arthur Hayes introduced a new essay, "The Genie"
Key Points:
▫️ Creating a BSR (Bitcoin Strategic Reserve) is risky, as the next administration may sell the reserves.
▫️ Complex regulations benefit only large centralized companies.
▫️ A new approach to the global reserve system is needed, where the US dollar remains the trading currency, but Bitcoin becomes a reserve asset.
▫️ The US has advantages for mining dominance due to energy resources and chip production.
▫️ BTC is expected to retest the $70,000-$75,000 levels.
▫️ To achieve the status of a global reserve asset, Bitcoin's price must rise to $1.8 million.
▫️ The current BTC rally from $70,000 to $110,000 is driven by excessive optimism about Trump's administration policies.

Сrypto-related press conference highlights:
▫️The U.S. is emerging from four years of regulatory crackdowns on crypto companies, shifting focus toward preserving innovation domestically and developing a clear regulatory framework.
▫️Officials have largely avoided mentioning Bitcoin, instead concentrating on stablecoins and government-led initiatives.
▫️David Sacks stated that integrating BTC into government reserves is under consideration and remains a top priority for the administration. However, the concept of a sovereign wealth fund remains a separate issue.
