Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10 after being shot at an event at Utah Valley University. He was a highly influential Bitcoin evangelist, having effectively promoted cryptocurrency to American youth by linking it to conservative political arguments.

Kirk integrates Bitcoin into discussions about freedom, government overreach, and economic fairness, arguing that it is a tool against inflation and a means of building intergenerational wealth. He describes Bitcoin as "more honest than the USD" due to its fixed supply and transparency, in contrast to the policies of the Federal Reserve.

With a strong political influence, Kirk has a close relationship with Donald Trump and has contributed to popularizing the idea of a "national strategic Bitcoin reserve." His ability to interpret complex concepts into easily understandable economic-political issues has attracted millions of young people to Bitcoin. His death is seen as a significant loss for the cryptocurrency movement, highlighting the challenge of making Bitcoin a mainstream trend in the absence of persuasive storytellers like him.
