As the United States embraces bitcoin, Europe is bogged down by continuing to highlight the dystopia of the digital euro. The American president signed last week a decree finally favoring bitcoin . The clear distinction from other digital assets has helped to appease the popular outrage from Donald Trump’s famous tweet suggesting the creation of a “crypto reserve” also including ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA. The decree separates the strategic reserve of bitcoins from the holding of other digital assets acquired through confiscations in various criminal cases. Note that the bitcoins put in reserve cannot be sold, unlike other digital assets such as ETH, SOL, etc. “The Secretary of the Treasury can determine strategies for responsible management, including potential sales of the stock of digital assets of the United States”, can be read in the decree. As a cherry on top, the decree allows the accumulation of bitcoins, as long as it is done in a budget-neutral manner. The Secretary of the Treasury has stated his intention “to explore ways of augmenting the bitcoin reserve”. Secretary Scott Bessent has also not hidden his intention to use stablecoins to ensure that “the dollar remains the dominant reserve currency”. Let us remind that companies like Tether or Circle must hold one dollar in reserve for each stablecoin issued. Tether , for instance, invests about 80% of its 136 billion reserves into U.S. Treasury bonds. However, a significant part of its profits is also invested in bitcoin. This is the old stock market adage that is currently pushing bitcoin below $80,000. Indeed, while the presidential decree does create a strategic reserve of bitcoin, purchases will come later. The 12 members of the presidential working group have until July 22 to make proposals that will certainly serve as the basis for drafting the “Bitcoin Act”. Cynthia Lummis has been working on it for over two years. The senator hopes to create a reserve of one million BTC by selling a portion of the country’s gold reserves . Invited to the White House last Friday, Michael Saylor advised the president “to buy 25% of the bitcoins through daily purchases between 2025 and 2035”. Here is the document shared by Mr. Saylor on this occasion. For the CEO of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), such a reserve could “generate $100 billion, which would allow for the repayment of national debt.” He also believes in selling gold. Patience, then. That said, let us note that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) has already given its green light to banks that would like to allow their clients to invest in bitcoin. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has stated that federally regulated U.S. banks can now hold bitcoins without prior authorization. In short, Republicans have understood that bitcoin is a technological breakthrough that will inevitably impose itself worldwide. And in the meantime, in Europe… Two rooms, two atmospheres. While the United States has abandoned the CBDC project to embrace bitcoin, Europe is taking the opposite path. Christine Lagarde wants a digital euro that many believe is a prelude to the creation of a cashless society. The President of the European Central Bank swears that this is not the goal, but is she sincere? One can doubt it when one knows that she has been predicting the total abandonment of cash within 10 or 20 years for years. Moreover, she did declare this back in 2018 during a conference titled “Winds of Change: The Case for New Digital Currency” : Imagine if people who buy beer and frozen pizzas generally have a higher rate of default than those who buy organic broccoli and spring water. What can you do if you crave beer and pizza but don’t want your social credit to decrease? Today, you pull out cash. And tomorrow? Would a private payment system push you toward the broccoli aisle? Could central banks come to the rescue by offering a totally anonymous digital currency? Certainly not. That would be a boon for criminals. The former IMF president also assures us that the digital euro will not be programmable. In other words, spending your money in digital euros will not be conditioned. But again, many central bankers do not share the same opinion. Bo Li, the Deputy Managing Director of the IMF and former Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China, stated for example in 2022: “The CBDC would allow the conditioning of money paid in the form of social assistance. We could for example program the money so that it could not be spent on anything other than food.” This statement illustrates the stakes and potential of central bank digital currency (CBDC). Christine Lagarde may not intend to end cash or limit the way we can spend our money, but what about her successor? It would not be the first time that the EU adopts the salami technique to confiscate our freedoms… Not building a gas factory with dystopian potential seems wiser. Especially since this project will cost billions of euros to taxpayers while the continent’s finances are increasingly drained. It would be much smarter to promote the bitcoin industry in all European countries that deploy renewable energies. Mining bitcoins could, for example, allow Germany to: We have already seen this demonstrated in Texas. The ERCOT CEO recently canceled the construction of about ten gas power plants due to the 3 GW that bitcoin miners can provide back to the grid on demand as long as necessary.

Other countries are already ahead. This is the case for Bhutan, El Salvador, or the United Arab Emirates. Many voices are also rising in Europe to avoid being the geese that lay the golden eggs. Notably in the Czech Republic where the governor of the central bank would like to add bitcoin to the country’s reserves. Lines are also moving in Poland, and even in Russia.

Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar was at the forefront of digital innovation in Argentina in 1995, when the internet was still in its early stages. Driven by an unquenchable enthusiasm, he participated in pioneering projects including Patagon.com, a financial community subsequently bought for hundreds of millions of dollars by a big bank, and Clarín Digital, the website of Argentina’s biggest newspaper. But who would have guessed that Diego’s journey would bring him to rank among the main players in the Latin American blockchain and crypto industry? His journey into the world of Bitcoin started in 2011. Like finding a treasure map, Diego saw something that not many people realized: this technology could be the foundation of a new global financial system. However, simply recognizing its potential was not enough—Diego wanted to make sure Bitcoin was widely known and actually used. In 2012, he started the Bitcoin community in Argentina . Not alone, he worked with several groups to create Fundación Bitcoin Argentina, a company meant to hasten Bitcoin acceptance. On the other hand, he also helped create a network of Bitcoin communities spread across different Latin American countries. His enthusiasm was straightforward: everyone should be able to access the financial world, not only those who already enjoy economic privileges. Diego did not stop at the community. Though strong as a digital currency, he came to see that Bitcoin lacked smart contract capability. Ethereum had already presented this answer, but Diego noticed that Bitcoin ought to have the same qualities without compromising its security. This is where RSK (Rootstock) was founded. Diego created a platform together with his team that let Bitcoin have smart contract capabilities, transforming it from a mere transaction tool. RSK opened the path for several decentralized finance (DeFi) applications based on Bitcoin, much as adding a brain to an already strong body. Eventually, Diego’s diligence paid off. His induction into the Crypto Hall of Fame in 2021 marks him on par with other blockchain pioneers. But Diego sees this as a new challenge rather than depending just on his laurels. For him, this technology is about how to make it more accessible rather than only about innovation. Not stopping at blockchain, he also started Koibanx, a business leveraging technology to promote financial inclusion. His objective is obvious: he wants to make financial services more available, particularly to people who the traditional banking system has excluded. Diego is not the kind to stop innovating given his record. DeFi , Bitcoin, and other blockchain-based economic models are becoming more and more popular, thus his influence in the sector probably will become even more significant. He has shown that starting the first step counts more in innovation than just technology. Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar has demonstrated from his early days on the web to now spearheading the blockchain revolution that technology can be a tool for transformation. The crypto world will keep observing his moves ahead not only for his achievements but also for the ideas and vision that keep stretching the bounds of what is practical.
