🗣Don’t Sell Your Bitcoins, Pass Them to Your Grandkids, Advises Anthony Pompliano

American investor Anthony Pompliano believes that bitcoins are not just assets but genuine family heirlooms. In his view, the value of the first cryptocurrency will only increase. Instead of selling bitcoins, he suggests passing them on to your grandchildren, as a legacy from the future.

Pompliano praised Senator Cynthia Lummis for her support of bitcoin and her initiative to make cryptocurrency a strategic reserve for the USA. The investor himself holds a significant portion of his portfolio in bitcoins and Solana, confidently predicting their continued growth.

He believes that Solana can surpass Ethereum and become the market leader. So, if you have a few extra bitcoins, don’t rush to sell them—your grandchildren might thank you for such an unusual gift.

Or live in the moment and let the grandkids take care of themselves. Your call 😂

🗣While everyone is waiting for the creation of the U.S. strategic BTC reserve, Trump has released “Trump Bitcoin” sneakers.
