The main reason the U.S. would stack as much bitcon as possible is to hedge their bets against the collapse of the global dollar hegemony and world order.

For a nation that prints its own money, issuing debt and is the world reserve currency, the practical nature of the BSR doesn’t make sense (and if you use it to pay the national debt, you’d crash the price).

Super smart people on this are either

A) seeing a world where the dollar and world order eventually collapses

Or B) see it as politically popular with a certain demographics like Bitcoiners/crypto vote and donors Trump sees as a key voting block.

Ok OR they want to use it to issue bitcon bonds or some sort of UBI for citizens.

But the strengthen the dollar thing is bullshit or wishful thinking.

Strengthening of the dollar in real terms is BS. Slowing the collapse of the dollar vs every other fiat is plausible though

It’s A

The national security state invented Bitcoin because A

It’s been telling people that no one knows who Satoshi is for 16 years so that adoption would spread and appear bottom-up because A

It's A. There's only A. Bitcoin is directly taking on the Federal Reserve and the Gold Standard we went off in 1971. An open, global protocol can't be stopped, can't be shut down. The US must get on it before other countries. Period. (But Bitcoin doesn't care. If another country rises due to our delay, so be it.) My upcoming article this Sunday addresses this.

And actually re: Trump though, there may be a bit of B in there too. From his perspective. He doesn't get it. (You hear him in that video say, "and you believe in this?" Lol.) But from a national security perspective, it must be A.
