Bitcoin may be undermining America, says Peter Thiel
Bitcoin has faced a lot of resistance over the years, from governments to traditional financial institutions. Although governments are yet to fully accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, they are working hard to develop their central bank digital currencies. Peter Thiel thinks Bitcoin could undermine America’s position as the leading economy.
Thiel thinks China will use Bitcoin to undermine America
PayPal co-founder and venture capitalist Peter Thiel believe that Bitcoin could be used to undermine America’s position as the leading economy. He admitted that although he is a Bitcoin maximalist, he thinks the United States needs to consider tighter regulations on cryptocurrencies.Thiel made his position known in an appearance earlier this week. According to a Bloomberg report, the statement marks a drastic change for Thiel, an investor in certain cryptocurrencies and digital currency companies.
He stated that “I do wonder whether, at this point, Bitcoin should also be thought [of] in part as a Chinese financial weapon against the U.S. It threatens fiat money, but it especially threatens the U.S. dollar.

Thiel said this during an appearance at a virtual event held for members of the Richard Nixon Foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
