This just happened after Bakkt CEO becomes US senator!

[henrybek3]

The relationship between Bitcoin and Bakkt should no longer be evaluated. Bitcoin missed this opportunity. Now we need new stories. Bakkt's excitement is gone. Maybe successful work can be done. However, I see this situation as negative.

Title is misleading, I do hope that the OP has somewhat verified everything before posting this link. This has nothing to do with her, appointed as US senator. Because they have this plans along the way whether she becomes a Senator or not,

OP is just posting for the only purpose of promoting his link, and you are absolutely right that what Bakkt does has nothing to do with the fact that their CEO has become a senator. OP also lives in the illusion that one senator can change things, or that the fate of Bitcoin depends on US politics.

In the next article from OP, "Kelly Loeffler seduce Donald Trump to accept Bitcoin", we are going to the Moon

Lol,  . Perhaps my point is, maybe we should check at what we are going to post, as not to confused everyone, specially newbies joining the crypto sphere.

Well, its good to hear something like this, but it won't change a thing though, it boils down to a simple supply and demand, not politics.

But, Trump is actually a bitcoin adept, you just have to look closer to his tweets about the economy.

Chuck Schumer sat for years during the Obama Administration and watched as China ripped off the United States.

This is clearly a hidden message in which Trump tells us to buy BTC.
I wonder how the OP missed this story.

I really wonder how could bitcoin miss something...and what was it doing at that time. Betting on ponies? 

She only been temporarily appointed to the senate as the incumbent had to step down due to health problems.
She's now the Republican candidate for the US senate race that will take place in November 2020.
She still has to get elected to carry on after 2020...

It doesn't change a thing, she is still a full senator till then, David Perdue is also going to end his term in 2020, does it makes him less of a senator?

In my view, when Bakkt CEO is a US senator already, it should have two possibilities.
1. She can be a good negotiator for crypto/Bitcoin adoption, or
2. She will be sued to fight Bitcoin/crypto as she is a part of the trump government.

Let's see what will happen. I think we don't need to expect too much.

Totally agreed with you. In the meantime we are suffering hard times since Bakkt' launch and yet its volumes haven't reached real big numbers.

Not so sure though, it still depends on the CEO. Indeed it is generally good for cryptocurrency's image, but the CEO might have another plans, especially it is politics, and power corrupts these peope into doing where they would benefit more that the others.

It could drive the prices up if whales decide to swim with it and manipulate the market, but it won't really assure that there would be any significant effect on the prices.

It will open an opportunity to cryptocurrency to be discussed in the senate if possible that she would push and promote crypto. However, just like any other bill, it will take a lot of time, arguments, and discussion before it could pass the senate. She still needs to make a lot of efforts to convince and educate other government officials about crypto and how it could help the country if they were going to legalize and put regulations on it.

As a proponent of bitcoin Bakkt CEO becoming US senator would lobby other members of Senate towards adopting of Bitcoin by SEC although Donald Trump had tweeted that he is not a fan of Bitcoin however the congressmen can pass a positive resolutions if well convinced about the benefits of adoption of Bitcoin by SEC would bring to the US economy thus popularising it.

[Swordsoffreedom]

The overall mindset of government officials is against bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Bakkt appointment as Georgia senate member won’t make any change in U.S government standings against cryptocurrency. Bitcoin don’t need support of U.S congress as long as it has backing of his own decentralized congress.

[audaciousbeing]

Its a good thing that a CEO whose allegiance in relation to crypto is wide open to everyone is being appointed to the Senate house. However, this is not the time to rejoice concerning the appointment expecting that there would be regulation to support crypto because for one, it was an appointment and not an election which means the CEO is accountable to the people who makes the appointment. Secondly, making law about the entire financial system of the country or the passing of any law for that matter goes beyond the position of an individual as it needs the support of the majority of both Chambers to get it passed without taking into consideration the Executive bottlenecks that needs to be passed before it becomes law.

You can’t change U.S and other government narrative on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by few such appointments. We have to understand the reasons why governments are not in favour of cryptos. Tax collection, controlling money laundering and other such things will be a dream for governments if they legitimized crypto in there area of regime.
