Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David “JoelKatz” Schwartz, recently engaged in a debate on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) regarding Bitcoin halving and the potential conversion of U.S. Treasuries into Bitcoin. Senator Cynthia Lummis recently stated at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference that the Trump administration would convert <a href="https://x.com/SenLummis/status/1817337985492226154" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">excess reserves at the 12 Federal Reserve banks</a> into Bitcoin over five years.
Paul Vigna, author of “The Age of Cryptocurrencies,” criticized the concept of converting treasuries into Bitcoin, considering BTC’s extreme volatility. Another X user <a href="https://x.com/Bit_Faced/status/1817732373829517498" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">questioned the practicality</a> of using the blockchain when transaction fees rise with network congestion. The user also questioned whether using a third party in such a situation will result in the loss of all the benefits of using blockchain technology.
