On January 11, during the 6th edition of the Krypto Silesia conference, we interviewed the founder and CEO of KryptoEkipa, Maciej Tomczyk. We couldn't help but start with one of the hottest events in the cryptocurrency market, the return of Donald Trump to the US White House.
I asked my interlocutor whether the interference of top-level politicians in cryptocurrencies is really necessary for bitcoin, or whether it can "do without it" after all. After all, for so many years the market has managed without Republican support.
- The US is very important for the cryptocurrency industry today. Europe is small in this respect.
Trump is pro-crypto, but he's not the only one. There is a whole camp of people out there who want to support this market.
See what happened on the BTC chart when there were fears that it might run out of reserves because the Democrats would sell the requisitioned cryptocurrencies at the last hurdle?
- the head of CryptoEkipa said.
It went on to say a saying familiar in Polish culture , "The German cried as he sold," referring to the situation in June/July 2024. At that time, the German government sold all its bitcoins for several billion dollars. The BTC exchange rate at the time was just over $54,000.
- A few months later, one of their more important politicians comes out and asks: "Why didn't anyone tell me that bitcoin would grow like this?"
- recalls my interlocutor.
Staying on the topic of cryptocurrencies in Europe, we touched on MiCA regulations. Tomczyk noted that there is quite negative sentiment in the industry towards the new regulations, but in his opinion there is nothing to get down about.
- I, as an influencer/youtuber, see some effects of this - the exchanges already approach us a bit differently in terms of cooperation and affiliation.
The big exchanges have excluded the so-called passives, i.e. various launchpools, launchpads and other options to generate passive income.
These regulations certainly interfere with our freedom to some extent.
However, he added, Europe still offers opportunities for action.
- It's not that nothing can be done in Europe.
The most important thing is that there is no tax on stablecoins, and this is something to be happy about.
He also stressed that there are still ways to generate passive income.
- Let's take advantage of what the market continues to give us. If you don't need to go out to fiat, look for passives.
We can still draw cool percentages from passive income generation options in the DeFi world.
Maciej Tomczyk has been involved with the Chiliz (CHZ) project for years as its ambassador. He disclosed that he has finally managed to get representatives of this project to appear at the Crypto Community Conference being held in Lodz on July 1.
- Chiliz is looking for new sports projects, but let's not kid ourselves - sports and blockchain don't chew.
Their token is admittedly not growing, but its task is different.
He is supposed to represent utility for real fans.
The CEO of CryptoEkip admitted that he is a big fan of tokenization.
- I observe projects that want to enter the RWA, to merge this world with the digital one.
Tomczyk also shared his ways of finding startups that can make a substantial profit.
- You have to look for gems.
You don't have to watch influencers on YouTube or X.
All you need to do is look on sites like CoinGecko.
I found a lot of interesting projects there.
The cryptocurrency market is constantly changing, with politics, regulations and new trends having a huge impact on it.
🔹 US plays key role in cryptocurrency world
🔹 MiCA regulations restrict, but there are still ways to grow
🔹 Chiliz is growing, but blockchain in sports still has challenges
🔹 Tokenization and RWA is one of the key trends for the future
🔹 Searching for projects on CoinGecko can yield big profits
The world of crypto still offers many opportunities - you just need to know where to look! 🚀
