Pantera founder Dan Morehead stated in a recent interview that in 2013 people were worried about regulators cracking down on Bitcoin, but the situation is completely different in 2024.

Although the U.S. once banned gold, there are now 50 million Americans holding cryptocurrency. Most Americans are under 40, but in the past three years, 90% of the wealth created by the Federal Reserve and Congress's monetary policy has flowed to those aged 70 and above, which is essentially a massive wealth transfer from the younger generation to the elderly.
