His stance on the issue of crypto is explained under the title of \u201cFinancial Inclusion and Inclusive Technology.\u201d Solstin emphasizes that Bitcoin is truly decentralized, and its application to the financial channels is sure to accelerate all STEM fields.<\/p>\n<p>His post states:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe internet\u2019s TCP\/IP protocol demonstrates powerful decentralizing resiliency. Bitcoin is also decentralized. Unlike \u201ccrypto,\u201d Bitcoin is a decentralized digital coin. TCP\/IP and Bitcoin (BTC\/LN) are integrating into financial channels having unexpected, unimaginable velocity.<\/p>\n<p>He further adds:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe emerging protocol will accelerate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Manufacturing (STEM). STEM\u2019s, digital transformation is strategic for providing wealth, abundance, and prosperity for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notice he specifically separates Bitcoin from \u201ccrypto\u201d and only promotes Bitcoin. The reason behind this distinction is Solstin\u2019s reference to Bitcoin as the \u201cGreat Reset.\u201d In his candidacy declaration Tweet, he also identities his primary goal to make Bitcoin the Legal Tender in the USA because it\u2019s the great reset.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I declare my candidacy for US Senate. Making #Bitcoin Legal Tender in the USA will be my primary objective on the Senate floor.#Bitcoin is the Great Reset.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bryan Solstin (@BryanBSolstin) March 15, 2022<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Great Reset?<\/h2>\n<p>The concept of the Great Reset was brought in daylight by the president of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Dr Klaus Schwab. In his book with the same title, Dr. Schwab argued that the existing world order was catastrophic and that the COVID pandemic was a chance to reset the global economy and the current environmental course.<\/p>\n<p>To put it shortly, the Great Reset aims to transform the current financial system into a fully digital one which saves a lot of energy and therefore hinders the acceleration of global warming. However, the whole concept of Great Reset is raising criticisms because of its take on decentralization.<\/p>\n<p>The Great Reset relies on the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) when conceptualizing complete digitalization. While it works out well for the digitalization of the system, it also destroys decentralization and puts immense power at the hands of the governments. As a result, Crypto enthusiasts have been harshly criticizing the centralization which would come with the Great Reset.<\/p>\n<p>The opposers, on the other hand, argued that the original version of the Great Reset would not reset what needs to be reset, but in fact, it would make everything worse by increasing the power governments hold over global capital. They argued that real change in the global economy would allow decentralization and grant the ownership of money to its holders.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Solstin make sense?<\/h2>\n<p>Judging by his content, it is difficult to define where Solstin stands in this dispute.<\/p>\n<p>By appealing to Bitcoin\u2019s decentralization, he seems like he stands with the Great Reset opposition. However, it would be delusional to think that he\u2019d argue against the CBDCs. His comments on the transformation of STEM indicate that he is pro-decentralized-great-reset in STEM-related fields only. His expression\u00a0 \u201cunlike \u2018crypto&#8217;\u201d carried negative connotations, which suggest that he may have second thoughts on the complete decentralization of the monetary system.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it seems like Solstin is trying to find a middle ground and promoting partial decentralization, which is not the same as the Great Reset, but also not against it either. This middle ground was predicted by Ilias Lous Hatzis, the Founder of Mercato Blockchain Corp. In his recent blog post, he stated:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the WEF is serious about creating a more equitable world, then it will embrace crypto in ways like never before. But my guess is that the WEF will embrace blockchain in limited areas like supply chain management, and do everything it can to avoid giving people the freedom that comes along with cryptocurrencies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The question is, will Solstice be able to appeal to both sides of the Great Reset dispute enough to bring him a victory?<\/p>\n<p><h2>Get your daily recap of Bitcoin, DeFi, NFT and Web3 news from CryptoSlate<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s free and you can unsubscribe anytime.<\/p>\n<h2>Get an Edge on the Crypto Market \ud83d\udc47<\/h2>\n<p>Become a member of CryptoSlate Edge and access our exclusive Discord community, more exclusive content and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>On-chain analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Price snapshots<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  <strong>More context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Join now for $19\/month Explore all benefits<br \/>\n<br \/><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\r\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"totafreearti-20\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\r\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\r\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"bitcoin\";\r\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\r\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"false\";\r\namzn_assoc_title = \"\";\r\namzn_assoc_rows =\"1\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/new-senate-candidate-bryan-solstin-claim-bitcoin-as-the-great-reset-but-will-it-work-in-his-favor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, the world witnessed a successful utilization of crypto adoption in winning the presidential elections.
