Elizabeth Warren Trolled Into Honoring Satoshi Nakamoto on 15th Bitcoin's Launch Anniversary
Senator Elizabeth Warren honored Satoshi Nakamoto for the 15th anniversary of the network’s launch with a commemorative flag flown over the United States Capitol, although the service is available to anyone willing to pay a fee.
- "In participation of the Capitol Flag Program, Senator Warren’s office submitted a request to commemorate Nakamoto’s accomplishment of creating the first “truly inclusive financial system,” with the colors of the United States being flown above the Capitol on December 18, 2023 – a date known to Bitcoiners as HODL Day," wrote Mark Goodwin in an entertaining article for Bitcoin Magazine.
"As if speaking to her campaign promises to champion the working class negatively affected by corruption within both the government and the banking sector, the certificate produced by the Architect of the Capitol in recognition of the flag notes the “new economic freedoms to populations previously ignored by both private and public institutions” brought forward by Nakamoto’s Bitcoin."
- "An X Spaces hosted by Bitcoin Magazine and PubKey at 4:30 PM EST will further tell the story of how Satoshi’s Flag and Warren’s endorsement came to be."
- The move comes as a practical joke on Warren for her absurd Bitcoin policy proposal and statements.
PSA, the Elizabeth Warren flag flying thing is literally a meme. You just pay $34 and it will get rubberstamp approved unless it is obviously inappropriate.
