According to Bailey, one goal of the proposed PAC is to help raise Bitcoin’s value to $10 million over time, but he also emphasized a goal of supporting long-term progress in the Bitcoin community.

He also asked for feedback from the community. Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights Foundation recommended pushing for legal safeguards for developers working on open-source Bitcoin tools, expanding Bitcoin education to high schools, and giving countries that owe the US money the option to repay in Bitcoin.

Additionally, Stephan Livera, who hosts a Bitcoin podcast, suggested the group focus on removing capital gains tax for Bitcoin transactions and protecting the ability of users to hold their own assets.
