The Ironic Rise of Bitcoin in Pensions
This chapter explores the unexpected trend of pensions investing in Bitcoin via MicroStrategy, emphasizing its growing acceptance in traditional finance. The discussion includes humorous reflections on regulatory responses and the potential parallels between Bitcoin's rise and advancements in AI.
In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts James Seyffart, Noelle Acheson, and Ram Ahluwalia are joined by Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, to discuss the surprising mainstream buzz around XRP’s latest rally, dubbed the “most hated rally in crypto.”
They also analyze the new Treasury Secretary’s ambitious economic plan and what it could mean for inflation, fiscal discipline, and market stability. Meanwhile, Ethereum struggles to reclaim its narrative as the go-to blockchain, even as its ETH/BTC ratio shows signs of life.
And in a moment that captures the personal side of crypto’s rise, the team reflects on Thanksgiving table conversations, where bitcoin and digital assets became unexpected stars.
