Chamath Palihapitiya has been around for some time and has always had a positive stance on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency (a very positive one, actually) and here today I think we are seeing more of a clickbait use of his actual quote or stance as he’s speaking on the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry, and not Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. Try as they may, the US government is not going to kill Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

“Crypto is dead in America. “You had Gensler even blaming the banking crisis on crypto. The United States authorities have firmly pointed their guns at crypto (companies). They were probably the ones that were the most threatening to the establishment. And they were the ones that, in fairness to the regulators, did push the boundaries more than any other sector of the startup economy.”
