President Trump

Hong Kong politician Johnny Ng expressed interest in the concept of a national Bitcoin reserve, following Trump’s Bitcoin 2024 keynote speech — which included a plan for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.
In a post on X today, July 28, Ng, a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, <a href="https://x.com/Johnny_nkc/status/1817400401416851750" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">offered</a> his insights on Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-price/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/web3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">web3</a>, highlighting their significance and potential in the region.
Ng, a self-proclaimed web3 advocate, suggested that Bitcoin is “worth considering” as a financial reserve for nations and regions. He noted the increasing global acceptance of Bitcoin and its perception as “digital gold.”
The legislator also urged Hong Kong lawmakers to accelerate the development of the web3 industry locally by attracting more crypto businesses and talent to the city.
