“The price of inaction is way greater.” — Bilal Bin Saqib MBE, Chairman at Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority Bin Saqib’s comments reflected the reality many emerging markets live with every day: currency risk isn’t theoretical. Rather than pitching Bitcoin as a speculative bet, he framed it as a defensive tool — something to be explored carefully through regulation, energy-backed mining, and limited allocation when depreciation is already doing damage. What stood out: ✅ Currency risk as the starting point, not upside ✅ Mining used to convert surplus energy into reserves ✅ Regulation emphasized over promotion ✅ On-chain usage driven by remittances and youth The signal here is pragmatic. For emerging markets, Bitcoin isn’t about leading narratives — it’s about avoiding being left with no options at all.
