The Emperor’s New BTC: Wall Street’s Wild Ride & Uncle Sam’s Secret Bitcoin Hoax 🐀💰

Well now, gather ’round, my dear readers, and let me spin you a yarn about Anthony Pompliano, that merry band of Wall Street sharks, and the curious case of Bitcoin—yes, that digital goldbrick folks keep shoving in their pockets like it’s a modern-day tin pan. On a Monday that smelled of coffee and chaos, Pompliano, the self-proclaimed crypto oracle of Professional Capital Management, waxed poetic about the crypto market, Wall Street’s newfound love affair with Bitcoin (BTC), and the shenanigans we might expect next.

Wall Street’s Eyes On Bitcoin

Now, in an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box—a place where grown men wear ties and shout into microphones like they’re trying to summon a genie—Pompliano declared Bitcoin the “king of the market,” a title so grand it makes a monarch look like a peasant. “It won’t change anytime soon,” he said, as if he’d already penned the history books and skipped the part where the plot twists.

The CEO, with all the subtlety of a cannonball in a teacup, insisted Wall Street’s attention is fixated on BTC, which has “kind of broken away” from the pack. Poor Ethereum, still sulking in the corner, trying to hit a new all-time high like it’s trying to climb Mount Rushmore with a broken leg.

“Just because BTC’s got the crown doesn’t mean others won’t try to steal it someday,” Pompliano mused, “but for now, it’s got the market cap, the capital flow, and the attention of folks who used to pretend they didn’t know what a blockchain was.”

Over five to seven years, he noted, BTC went from “a contrarian trade” (read: a niche hobby for basement-dwellers) to a “consensus trade” where everyone’s convinced it’ll stick around like that one uncle who shows up to Thanksgiving and won’t leave.

Wall Street, once the grumpy old man at the crypto party, has finally opened the doors and said, “Well, alright, let’s let this in,” because, surprise of surprises, they figured out how to turn it into money. Pompliano chuckled that BTC’s now been “put into Wall Street wrappers”—ETFs, public companies, real estate funds—the whole nine yards. It’s like giving a toddler a loaded gun and calling it a “financial innovation.”

“You’ll see Wall Street stuff Bitcoin into every nook and cranny of the traditional financial system,” he said, “because Bitcoin brings volatility. Oh, and returns. The kind of returns that make Wall Street’s usual spreadsheets look like a bedtime story.”

BTC’s Next Big Thing

When asked about BTC’s “next big thing,” Pompliano leaned into his best prophet impression and declared the US government will eventually announce they’re buying Bitcoin. “The main dish,” he called it, after years of nibbling on the appetizer of seized crypto from criminals. “It’s not the main course yet, but it’s coming.”

President Trump, in his infinite wisdom, signed an executive order to create a Strategic BTC Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, funded by crypto they confiscated from folks who probably just lost a poker game. Since then, the government’s been hunting for “budget-neutral” ways to buy BTC—because nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like spending other people’s money on digital ponies.

Senator Cynthia Lummis, bless her heart, reintroduced the BITCOIN Act to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, because nothing says “America’s balance sheet” like 1 million BTC locked away for 20 years. It’s like burying gold in a vault and telling everyone to forget the key.

Pompliano also predicted Wall Street’s “white flag” moment—when the last few stubborn firms still calling BTC “speculative” will finally throw up their hands and say, “Fine! It’s money! Now buy us a beer!”
