The Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, scheduled for the last week of May, includes several important political figures scheduled as speakers, including the guest return and the lawyer Bitcoin Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wy). The so -called “Ai and Czar Czar” of Trump, David Sacks, and Bo Hines, the “Executive Director of the Council of Consultants of the President for digital resources to the White House”.
This year, a less anticipated and almost otherworldly contingent will probably also make an apparition of the public, if not lined and looking directly at the spotlight. Like fire from the skies, an unexpected Bitcoin donation from $ 3,000 that no one asked about Crash was Crash in Roswell, New Mexico, at the beginning of this year, leaving the members of the city council who fight to respond to the history of history, establishing the first strategic reserve of Bitcoin of the United States – at the city level – before other United States or even the United States. (following Donald Donald Executive Order.
Roswell hosts some things you may not expect: world -renowned milk agriculture and one of the largest mozzarella factories in the world; Aerospace and aeronautical industries with a famous “aircraft cemetery” that once housed the small personal plane of Elvis Presley, “Hound Dog II”, for 35 years; A vibrant art, museums and cultural scene – but also a flourishing tourist industry, largely built around what is Roswell Truly Known for: flying saucers.
But Roswell is really known all over the world for the 1947 “Ufo accident”. At the beginning of July 1947, an object presumably a time in flight of unknown origin crashed and was destroyed, landing approximately in the nearby crown, in New Mexico, recovered later and brought to the now deceased Roswell Army Air Field 509th, a mechanic of Eramie, United States.
Speculation still encourages whether the recovered profession and its alleged pilot and passengers – the reports of strange bodies persist but are still very debated – came from an alleged extraterrestrial position or the result of a US military experiment.
At the time, the local newspaper, the Roswell Daily Record, of family owned since 1891 and still in print, reported the title seen all over the world:
Raaf captures the flying saucer in the ranch in the Roswell region
Readers now know that the daily record has followed a retraction, reformulating the army magazine statement according to which the crash vehicle was “only” a high -altitude meteorological ball. The 21st century examination of an enlarged photo of the photo of the press on the scene “Flying Saucer” of 1947 reveals differently, according to Donald Burleson, Cryptanalyst and former mathematics professor at the University of New Mexico Eastern. Burleson is also a published author and wrote “Looking up”, one of the recurring columns of the Daily Record on UFO, for 25 years.
The city of Roswell hosts the International Ufo Museum and Research Center, opened in 1992 and attracts over 220,000 visitors per year, said the executive director Karen Jaramillo during an interview of 2023 which marks 5 million visitors to the museum. Roswell also hosts an annual UFO festival, which, according to the city website in 2023 “… had a direct economic impact of $ 510,205 for Roswell …” in a year of reconstruction of the reward of blocks for events.

Stranger in a strange land
Roswell in general and the newspaper is now home to many oddities, including me. A Nashville transplant with a strange missionary call, last year the record brought me as their indoor-surpan-with a desk, a fixed network, a sick wages and everything … is a little surreal. (I was told that the desks come from the air base of the army of the Second World War. And the chairs? The third day, I brought myself.)
Germaine to today, I also have Bitcoin certifications and for years I have have orange polling for years. The newspaper eventually allowed me to satisfy that second call mine, also contributing as a writer, through a Sunday column in which I started writing on Bitcoin, for the record. I am honored to have been temporarily put on board just in time to document the entire “arch of the history” of the first-term anti-bitcoin hostility of President Trump and its 2024 inversion in my opinion of October 2024-ons as “Never Sell your Bitcoin!” During the campaign at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville in 2024. With “World War Bitcoin”, I described for the readers of “Normie” newspapers the strategic race that occurs between the multiple nations that now compete to accumulate and extract “all the remaining bitcoins”.
And through all this, I have not even been fired. Still. But being in the Bitcoin news sector and seeing the trend, in January I proposed a strategic Bitcoin reserve for Roswell, since the city received a donation of $ 3,000 bitcoins from an anonymous reader outside the state of the newspaper column. In my opinion, with or without “approval” of the government or recognition of the Bitcoin media sector, I have a blockchain transaction confirmed from January 3, 2025, which says that the strategic Bitcoin reserve of Roswell has been established. Period.
Who is a custodian and manages that they are still at stake, but I ask others: “Are we bitcoiner or not?”
But ok, the idea is currently reflected by some city councilors who gave me the time of the day, since I want to give the donation to the city as our beginning and seek personal and corporate sponsorships from there (so as not to create new expenses or taxes for the city). We are fighting, being honest.
While the city council can obviously be a hard pace, and Bitcoin is new and disconcerting for many still, the prosecutor of the city of Roswell Hess Yenma has kindly replied to me by e-mail: “As for the acceptance of a gift from Bitcoin, in New Mexico, the municipalities are the municipalities and the municipalities are intact and are intact and intact are intact and are intactable and are intact and are intact and are intact and are intact and are intactable and are intactable and are intactable Intactible and are intact and are intact and are intact that the personal assets are so great.
To help with the decision -making process perhaps, I am grateful to report that Bitcoin magazine has extended an invitation to all 10 members of the municipal mayor of Roswell Plus Timothy Jennings to participate in the event whether or not the Council approves the custody and management of a city bitcoin reserve. The mayor Jennings office kindly replied that he would not be able to participate in those dates, while at the time of the press at least another city councilor, Cristina Arnold, has committed himself to “thinking about it”. The city councilor and Heldenbrand and the city prosecutor Hess Ytema are, with Arnold, enthusiastic to inaugurate Roswell’s next step, for the good of posterity if not their generation: “… a big step for the future”, said Heldenbrand in a text message.
Roswell’s city council will meet on Thursday 8 May at 18:00 in the mountains, with meetings broadcast on YouTube, where if the topic of the proposed donation is discussed remains unknown at the time of the press. Before this meeting, however, two municipal councilors of Roswell, one of the city’s financial committee, planned a meeting with myself and Hess this week to discuss “the procedure to accept Bitcoin”, according to a text message from my district that organizes the meeting.
“… trying to face the market to ensure that the New Mexico remains a rich state”, Senator Anthony Thornton (R-NM, Dist. 19) presented a strategic reserve bill, SB 275, during the recent legislative session. The account was “strictly presented” 5-4, said Thornton.
Asked for additional comment This week About “Why” a Bitcoin Reserve, Thornton Responded to Me in Written Detail: “I do Believe that as Our Debt Based Fiat Currency (IE, The US Dollar) Continuetes to Be Debased by the Fed Central Bankers, People, More Corporations, More Corpo. Municipalities, More Sovereign Governments Will decides to Store Their Wealth in Assents that cannot be produced by a printing press… hence commodities such as gold and silver will continues to use.
“However, Bitcoin’s scarcity and its digital mobility will probably make it the only resource used by all over the world as the best place to keep your long -term capital. “
It is not at all surprising that the inhabitants of Roswell can still be among the first of the nation to respond to the song of the Bitcoin siren, which they call all over the world to the most intelligent life forms of the earth for 16 years now.
The Roswelliani – accustomed as they are now to new random technologies of mysterious origin who appear from the sky and interrupt the whole social order, industry and consolidated financial infrastructures – could have an unjust advantage compared to the others in the “grokking” bitcoin due to such such an “accident” that is already part of their collective psyche.
Readers interested in learning more about Bitcoin in first person can be strangely attracted to Las Vegas this May to participate in the range of conferences of Las Vegas Bitcoin Conference 2025, as well as additional events during the week.
