After months of operational difficulties, bitcoin (BTC) sits on the ecosystem stronger than ever. In the last 24 hours, the valuation of the asset has increased by 3.18%, crossing the symbolic mark of $35,000. Something to delight fans of this crypto asset. One of them, a Canadian parliamentarian, a few days ago encouraged the public to take an active interest in this crypto which continues to surprise.
A Canadian MP, grateful for the creation of bitcoin (BTC)
Tuesday October 31 was a special day for bitcoin (BTC). This day marked the 15the anniversary of the publication of the bitcoin white paper. An opportunity that Canadian parliamentarian Joël Lightbound took to express his gratitude to its enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
During a parliamentary intervention, the MP addressed his fellow legislators, whom he strongly encouraged to study this crypto. This, however, without openly pleading in favor of purchasing the asset of which he admitted holding certain units.
Joël Lightbound highlighted the importance of understanding this revolutionary digital asset. Above all, he noted that bitcoin, which emerged in a context of financial crisis, has remarkably established itself as a powerful instrument for empowering marginalized populations.
According to him, bitcoin (BTC) has played a role in protecting families against the dangers of currency depreciation. While being the torchbearer of truly progressive ideals. For this, the MP expressed his gratitude to the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto by sending him his best wishes on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the bitcoin white paper.
The president of the SEC at the heart of the Canadian MP’s speech
During his speech, the Canadian MP spoke on the ideas of leading figures in the crypto and financial sector. These notably concerned Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter and prominent bitcoin advocate, and Gary Gensler, the current head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The inclusion of Gary Gensler in this speech notably raised eyebrows. Particularly because of his position perceived as hostile to cryptos since he became head of the SEC. However, the MP’s citation of the SEC boss’s remarks concerns a statement made in 2019, therefore prior to his appointment as president of the SEC.
You should know that in 2019, Gary Gensler wrote an opinion article in which he recognized the existence of numerous projects within the crypto ecosystem. He then praised the project initiated by Satoshi Nakamoto for its potential as a catalyst for change. Particularly because it reduces verification and networking expenses thereby promoting economic inclusion.
On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the bitcoin white paper, the head of the SEC sent his congratulations to Satoshi Nakamoto via X (Twitter). At the same time, he released a message focused on compliance. He called on crypto companies to comply with securities laws and stop misleading investors.
