Renowned whistleblower Edward Snowden has dropped a bombshell prediction on X, declaring that a national government will jump into the Bitcoin market this year by snatching up some BTC.

“Prediction: A national government will be revealed this year to have been buying Bitcoin—the modern replacement for monetary gold—without having disclosed that fact publicly,” Snowden revealed.
Snowden’s foresight comes at a time when Bitcoin is attracting increasing attention from institutions, retail traders, and even entire countries, with major corporations and investment firms diving headfirst into the asset. While Snowden didn’t specify which government he believes will take the plunge, the idea of another nation joining El Salvador in making Bitcoin legal tender marks a significant milestone for the digital currency.
Earlier today, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele commented on Bitcoin’s recent surge in price, highlighting the success of their BTC investments and the benefits of embracing the cryptocurrency. It seems that El Salvador’s initial move has paid off, not just financially, but also in terms of attracting Bitcoin enthusiasts and investments to the country.
As Snowden’s prediction gains traction, it reflects the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a key player in the global economy and a potential disruptor of traditional financial systems.
