US Vice President JD Vance gave a keynote speech at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, encouraging Bitcoiners to become more involved in politics.
Vance highlighted the strategic and geopolitical importance of Bitcoin, and emphasized that the US should maintain its leadership in the crypto industry in order to remain competitive in the age of digital finance. Vance told the audience:
“What happens in the world of politics, what happens in the world of bureaucracy, will affect even the most transformative and valuable technologies, if not making the right decisions.
“I don’t ignore politics because I, my friend, politics guarantee you.
Bitcoin continues to gain institutional validity and has been promoted to a macroeconomic and geopolitical asset class. Market analysts and Bitcoin supporters have warned that a global race to win BTC is ongoing among sovereign power.

Adoption of nation-state Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s largest list and market analysts argue that high stakes game theory forces nation-states to adopt BTC due to the negative or opportunity cost of not adopting rare digital assets like sovereign competitors.
This dubious nation-state missed fear (FOMO) was amplified by US President Donald Trump’s custody stance, including the creation of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and Cryptocoin Advisory Committee.
The US regulatory changes have urged other governments to show potential resets on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin.
For example, the Indian government is reconsidering changes to US regulations, and is now reviewing its crypto policy. India’s economic affairs secretary Ajay Seth said digital assets don’t care about borders.
