Breaking news is that even politicians want Bitcoin as a form of payment these days. The curtain is occasionally lifted, allowing the public to see behind closed doors into the inner workings of the system of power. Tucker Carlson told Glenn Beck earlier today about his struggles to persuade former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to give an interview where they could talk about Ukraine and Tucker’s recent trip to Russia. It was a little but meaningful piercing of the veil. It appears that Boris has been playing hard to get and that in exchange for an interview, Tucker needs to give him $1 million in US dollars, gold, or Bitcoin (BTC).
A really positive sign is that pay-to-play BTC is becoming widely accepted. The icing on the cake for this specific tale is that Boris Johnson is a member of the political class that has launched a concerted effort over the past fifteen years to portray Bitcoin as the medium of exchange used by drug traffickers and money launderers. It demonstrates that propaganda drenched in pure projection is what the political elite trades in.
They will be the first to demand BTC as payment for themselves and will make every effort to push the average person away from Bitcoin. If he is willing, they will even try to stop him from accessing it altogether.
According to Carlson, the former UK Prime Minister’s advisor got in touch with the journalist and said ‘He will talk to you, but it’s going to cost you a million dollars.’ Carlson stated, ‘He wants a million in U.S. dollars, gold or bitcoin – this just happened yesterday or two days ago!‘
Why Is Bitcoin Preferred?
One of the investments that has performed the best over the past ten years is Bitcoin (BTC). The price of BTC has increased from a low of $0.003 in 2010 to about $69,000 in 2021. Even though the asset’s price has dropped by roughly 25.5% from its peak in 2021, many analysts believe Bitcoin will soon return to its all-time high.
The trading activity of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) surged, making it the busiest day since the ETFs’ January US debut. The volume reached about $2 billion, a record not seen since January 11, 2024, the first trading day. The next round of BTC halving is scheduled for April, which may further increase the asset’s value.
Furthermore, in January, eleven spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), further solidifying BTC’s standing as a premier asset. Johnson is aware of Bitcoin’s outstanding performance over the last ten years and believes the market will continue on a similar path going forward.
