Jack Mallers, the CEO of Bitcoin financial services platform Strike, discussed the potential for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in the US, stating that it could be a significant economic announcement. However, Mallers expressed concerns about Ripple's involvement in influencing policy, criticizing the company's actions and suggesting they prioritize their own interests over the public good. Mallers warned that Ripple's influence could undermine Bitcoin's potential and called for the public to benefit from Bitcoin's technological innovation. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse weighed in on the debate, stating that the crypto industry should work together rather than compete, and that a government digital asset reserve should represent the entire industry, not just one token. Garlinghouse emphasized that maximalism hinders progress and commended a shift away from this way of thinking.
