The senator Elizabeth Warren, mostly known in the crypto community for her skepticism towards Bitcoin, marked a significant turning point by publicly celebrating the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin’s creation by Satoshi Nakamoto. Warren participated in the Capitol Flag Program to honor the creation of Bitcoin as a ‘financial system’.
Indeed, the renowned ‘anti-crypto’ American senator signed a certificate confirming that the American flag was raised above the Capitol for Bitcoin’s anniversary.
Celebrating HODL Day
A flag was raised above the Capitol on December 18, recognized by the Bitcoin community as HODL Day, to commemorate Bitcoin’s anniversary and its creation by Satoshi Nakamoto. The event surrounding the recognition of this flag was highlighted in New York, with a gathering organized by Bitcoin Magazine and PubKey.
This gathering will include a reading by T.J. Miller of the post that popularized the term ‘HODL’ in the Bitcoin community.
Has Elizabeth Warren Really Changed Her Mind About Bitcoin?
The recent celebration of Bitcoin by Senator Elizabeth Warren, initially perceived as a change in attitude towards cryptocurrencies, may actually be the result of a clever maneuver by the crypto community. In fact, it is possible to have a flag raised above the United States Capitol with a small donation, provided that the person is a voter of the respective senator or representative. This process allows for commemorating special occasions and sending the flag along with a certificate of authenticity to the requester.
It remains to be determined whether Senator Warren was fully aware of the significance of her signature or if the initiative was carried out without her complete understanding, potentially by one of her assistants. Whatever the reality behind this act, it is clear that this gesture will be regarded as brilliant within the crypto community.
