ChainCatcher news, Bankless founder David Hoffman posted on the X platform stating: "The independent validator community is the ultimate line of defense for network security. The self-sovereignty of the network is related to its commitment to independent validators. Ignoring independent validators in 'good times' is a luxury (referring to the larger number of independent validators when the market is doing well), but in 'bad times' it will cost us (referring to the reduced number of independent validators when the market is doing poorly, which in turn affects the ecological network security)."

ChainCatcher news, according to BitcoinMagazine, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and White House Deputy Press Secretary Brian Morgenstern stated that a quarter of Americans own Bitcoin, which is more than those aged 65 and older. President Donald Trump has been working to attract Bitcoin users in his 2024 campaign. At the recent Libertarian National Convention, President Trump vowed to "stop Joe Biden's crusade to crush cryptocurrency," and specifically assured Bitcoin holders that he supports self-custody.Brian Morgenstern said, "President Trump will protect your right to own Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin, trade Bitcoin, and for many of us, the right to work in the Bitcoin industry. We believe he will support Bitcoin miners in helping to fundamentally change the American financial and energy sectors and maintain America's economic leadership in the future. He will ban CBDCs, protect self-custody, and stop out-of-control regulators from trying to bankrupt us. If you are a Bitcoin enthusiast, Trump is the best presidential candidate this year, I dare say, to make Bitcoin great again in the eyes of the U.S. government."
