Crypto Voices on Twitter/X: Pomp and Beanie on Crypto Prices, Tech & More 

There's a lot to discuss: Today, X (Twitter) posts from Anthony Pompliano, Beanie, and CZ are in our spotlight, and we’ll go into more detail about them later in the article.

1. Pompliano on Trump’s Policy: Impact on Crypto Prices

Entrepreneur, investor, and host of the “Pomp” podcast, Anthony Pompliano, believes that both traditional asset prices and crypto prices are being affected by the ongoing disagreement between U.S. President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

During a Senate Banking Committee hearing on February 11, Powell announced that the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates unchanged, citing the strength of the economy and the lack of need for adjustments.

In contrast, Donald Trump argued on Truth Social that interest rates should be lowered in response to the trade tariffs he plans to impose. This long-standing debate has continued, with Powell recently noting that the Central Bank will monitor the impact of Trump’s tariff plans on inflation and adjust monetary policy accordingly.

Pompliano suggests that this ongoing conflict is impacting financial markets. He believes that Trump is trying to force Powell into cutting interest rates by manipulating market conditions and asset prices intentionally.

Currently, both crypto prices and the stock market are seeing significant declines. In a separate post, Pompliano commented on the “extreme greed” sentiment in the market, saying it’s just noise and that people shouldn’t be fooled by online sentiment. He pointed out that although the market was in “extreme greed” a year ago, Bitcoin is currently up by 20% compared to the same time last year.

2. Beanie’s Concerned about Quantum Computers and Crypto Security

Beyond crypto prices, there are other concerns in the crypto world.

Beanie, a well-known venture capitalist in crypto, highlighted the risks that quantum computers pose to Bitcoin's private keys. He specifically mentioned the new Zuchongzhi-3 processor, which is a million times faster than Google’s recently introduced Sycamore model.

Quantum computers are a huge topic in cybersecurity because they could potentially crack cryptographic techniques that would take regular computers thousands of years to break.

Beanie believes that if recent advancements in computational power are really this fast, there's a real risk that Bitcoin private keys could be compromised sooner than we think.

In the comments, people predicted what could happen in that case—from the need for quantum-resistant wallets to the possibility that large crypto wallets, including that of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, could be compromised.

Previously, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin highlighted the need to develop strategies for dealing with a quantum emergency if the risks emerge. 

3. How Big Money Is Built in Crypto: CZ Shares His Perspective 

Binance’s former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) believes the crypto industry spends too much time chasing small, quick gains. Instead, he argues, the focus should be on building ethical teams for the long term.

“Big money is built slowly with stamina”, CZ says.

In the comments, X users questioned whether Binance actually follows CZ’s advice. @pepecoins pointed out that centralized exchanges play a key role in distinguishing between projects and turning CZ’s ideas into reality.

Although he's no longer Binance's CEO, CZ's views continue to impact the industry as one of the biggest names in crypto.
