In a curious twist of fate, the illustrious Conor McGregor, a titan of the UFC, has decided to leap from the octagon into the tumultuous waters of cryptocurrency, all while pondering the digital ambitions of none other than Donald Trump. Who knew the Irish presidency would lead to such a digital dogfight?
Irish Champ Dives Headfirst into the Decentralization Circus
Conor McGregor, the celebrated UFC champion, has recently donned the hat of a bitcoin enthusiast, advocating for bitcoin—not just as a personal investment, but as a cornerstone of his presidential campaign. On a rather ordinary Monday, he stirred the pot by expressing interest in XRP and other altcoins like cardano (ADA) and solana (SOL), hinting at a vision that stretches far beyond the confines of bitcoin.
With a flair for the dramatic, he questioned the wisdom of the U.S. government’s choice to include these assets in its crypto reserves. “This week has taught me that not all blockchains are as decentralized as they claim,” McGregor mused on X. “People keep telling me that BTC and ETH are the only true decentralized networks,” he remarked, perhaps with a hint of sarcasm.
He boldly asserted that the U.S. government intends to include XRP, SOL, and ADA in its reserves, inviting public opinion. Almost immediately, a chorus of voices on X declared bitcoin as the one true king.

Another user told McGregor:
Bitcoin is the signal. Everything else is mere noise.
McGregor ignited a fervent debate within the crypto community, with bitcoin loyalists urging him to focus solely on their beloved coin, while supporters of cardano and XRP defended their beloved networks. “Cardano is the most decentralized and offers Bitcoin a splendid DeFi experience. Come join us, Conor!” one ADA enthusiast enthusiastically explained. Others seized the opportunity to take jabs at Ethereum, as McGregor had included it in the decentralized discussion.
“Ethereum is merely a software company, and ETH is the mother of all shcoins,” one X account declared on McGregor’s post. “With 70% pre-mine, a leader, a foundation, an advertising budget, an ICO, reversible transactions, and a new ‘roadmap’ every six months, what’s not to love?”
McGregor’s foray into the crypto discourse on X unveils a deeper schism between the ideological purists and the multi-chain advocates. His willingness to engage publicly—despite the inevitable backlash—highlights the divisive nature of decentralization debates. While bitcoin loyalists demand unwavering allegiance, altcoin supporters push for broader recognition, revealing the tension between maximalism and the ever-evolving blockchain landscape.
