Lobbyists for the \u201cnumber-go-up\u201d crowd had prayed for friendly language on airdrops, staking, and that annoying double tax on miners. Senator <\/span>Cynthia Lummis<\/span><\/a> even tried a hail-Mary amendment to stop miners being taxed twice (block reward <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> sale). All of it died on the cutting-room floor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Why Bitcoin still wins<\/b><\/h4>\n

Here\u2019s the kicker: the bill\u2019s very awfulness is still rocket fuel for scarce, censorship-resistant assets such as Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Debt spiral economics<\/b> \u2013 A $5 trillion bump to the debt ceiling all but guarantees more Treasury issuance. History says politicians won\u2019t match that with spending cuts; they\u2019ll print. Debasement is bullish for hard-capped assets: there will <\/span>never<\/span><\/i> be more than 21 million BTC.<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  2. Inflation hedging d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu<\/b> \u2013 Gold and oil spiked within hours of the vote; Bitcoin tagged $109,000 and change. Nigel Green of deVere notes investors are \u201crunning for anything that can\u2019t be printed.\u201d<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  3. 2024 halving tailwind<\/b> \u2013 Supply growth has already been cut to ~0.8% a year. Add ETF inflows, corporate balance-sheet FOMO, and now a fiscal free-for-all: the demand\/supply mismatch looks cartoonish.<\/span>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Put bluntly, it is likely that now is a good time to buy Bitcoin, because macro policy just told you it doesn\u2019t care about the dollar\u2019s purchasing power. In fact, Bitcoin quietly moved up on Sunday night to above $109,000. It\u2019s just a 3% move away from a new Bitcoin all time high. So the long-awaited <\/span>Bitcoin price predictions<\/span><\/a> that suggested $200,000 was a <\/span>realistic target for 2025<\/span><\/a> may yet prove to have been right all along,<\/span><\/p>\n

    The moral math nobody wants to do<\/b><\/h4>\n

    Sure, the bill hands millionaires a 3 % after-tax bump, lifts SALT deductions four-fold for the upper-middle class, and juices estate-tax exemptions to $15 million. It funds that largesse by hacking at Medicaid and SNAP while slapping 20-30 % tariffs on allies. Even mainstream economists are calling it a \u201cpermanent re-ordering of the trade and spending model.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    That sounds grim\u2014unless you\u2019re parking value in an asset outside the monetary blast radius. More debt \u2192 higher inflation expectations \u2192 higher real-asset multiples. Bitcoin was built for exactly this scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Washington\u2019s Crypto Week consolation prize<\/b><\/h4>\n

    The Hill hasn\u2019t forgotten digital assets entirely. <\/span>Lummis<\/span><\/a> is already back with a standalone mining-tax fix and a $300 de minimis exemption for everyday crypto spend. Meanwhile, House GOP leadership has dubbed the week of July 14 \u201cCrypto Week,\u201d aiming to pass:<\/span><\/p>\n
