Anthony Pompliano Pokes Fun at Satoshi Nakamoto’s Missed Opportunity with Bitcoin Halving
Bitcoin Founder Missed a Chance on Weed Day
Venture investor and founder of Pomp Investments Anthony Pompliano recently took to his X account to share a message about Satoshi Nakamoto and the Bitcoin halving event with his followers. He humorously pointed out that Satoshi Nakamoto missed a significant opportunity by not setting the halving day on April 20, also known as Weed Day.
Even though Bitcoin was not released in April, Pompliano suggested that integrating this iconic meme cryptocurrency with a day associated with counterculture and opposition to traditional systems could have been a clever move. Weed is a symbol of defiance against the system, and its legalization in many countries could have aligned well with Bitcoin’s anti-fiat stance.
Bitcoin Community Responds to Pompliano’s Tweet
In response to Pompliano’s tweet, members of the BTC community pointed out that the Bitcoin halving event coincided with April 20 in some countries like the U.K. and the EU due to time zone differences. Some users speculated that since Satoshi Nakamoto was based in Europe, he might have considered the significance of 4/20 when choosing the halving date.
Crypto Community Celebrates DOGE Day
While April 20 has historically been associated with Weed Day, it has also become Dogecoin Day in recent years, celebrated by the DOGE community worldwide. Various cryptocurrency platforms, including popular meme coin Floki, have joined in to mark the occasion and congratulate their communities on Dogecoin Day.
