Hoskinson shed light on Bitcoin's early centralized origins, stating that Satoshi Nakamoto remained pseudonymous due to the unclear regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies in the United States. He disclosed that initially, Bitcoin was centralized, with Satoshi holding complete control and 100% hash power. The anonymity served to navigate legal ambiguities surrounding currency issuance.

He argued that the U.S. regulatory system was hindering blockchain and crypto advancements, potentially limiting the nation's economic superiority in the global market.

Expressing concern, Hoskinson suggested that the regulatory crackdown aimed to diminish people's power, promoting dependency on easily controllable cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. He asserted that embracing the full potential of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. could revolutionize sectors such as politics, medicine, finance, and security. According to him, allowing people control over their money, voting, identity, and data would challenge the establishment's global dominance agenda. Hoskinson concluded that regulatory efforts aim to thwart projects returning power to the people, favoring centralized control over decentralized alternatives like Bitcoin.
