The author and Bitcoin advocate's panel was sobering, harkening back to the Bitcoin community's, anti-establishment ethos.
Author and Bitcoin expert Jimmy Song recently took the stage at the 2024 Bitcoin event in Nashville to denounce the topics presented on the first day of the event, including the encroaching banking sector, institutional investment, and the advent of exchange-traded funds in the United States as efforts by multinational corporations and the administrative state to co-opt the Bitcoin movement.
During the panel, Song appealed to the rugged individualism and pioneering spirit inherent in traditional American values and Bitcoin (BTC), sharply rebuking previous panels from deviating from those values to entertain speakers from financial institutions like BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world.
Fellow panelist and independent media personality Luke Rudkowski echoed Song's comments, explaining that Bitcoin "Really does provide an amazing opportunity for a lot of people to really see the problems that government created," before explaining that the scarce decentralized asset empowers people to help themselves and each other independent of state structures.
