Past results are not a guarantee of future outcomes, but I believe that the best is yet to come! #ZAP

Adopt the #bitcoin now or regret it bitterly. Look for it while you can find it. The day is near when no one will address for fiat money!

As far as I could research these are the three possible uses for this fund, what do you think?

The sovereign wealth fund may be utilized to purchase the social media platform TikTok.

Trump indicated that the fund could help monetize U.S. assets for the benefit of the American people.

The fund's creation will require congressional approval, and details regarding its funding sources remain unclear.

Is it reasonable to acquire the enemy's weapon of war for oneself and use it on one's own people?

A Federal Bitcoin Stockpile? Trump Likes the Idea.

By DAVID YAFFE-BELLANY

A pair of 50-page policy proposals lays out the plan in detail. Discussions about the specifics have taken place with President-elect Donald J. Trump and his advisers, and there have been talks with cabinet nominees about how to pay for it.

On the eve of Mr. Trump’s inauguration, the cryptocurrency industry is pushing his incoming administration to create an audacious plan that would have seemed unimaginable just a year ago—a government program to buy and hold billions of dollars in Bitcoin.

As he campaigned last summer, Mr. Trump vowed to create a federal Bitcoin stockpile that would serve as a “permanent national asset” to benefit all Americans. Bitcoin enthusiasts hailed the idea as potentially transformative, claiming it could help reduce the national debt. Mr. Trump could still abandon the plan, and its details are under debate. But industry executives have spent weeks lobbying to shape the proposal, raising hopes that Mr. Trump might act soon after taking office.

In recent days, crypto experts have offered input to David Sacks, a venture capitalist whom Mr. Trump appointed to oversee crypto and artificial intelligence policy, on a possible executive order addressing several areas of cryptocurrency, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The Bitcoin stockpile is part of those discussions, two of them said.

“This could be the day it all matures,” said Pete Rize, an editor at Bitcoin Magazine, an industry publication. “It’s certainly an idea that has come a long way in a short time.”

By some estimates, the United States owns as much as $19 billion in Bitcoin that it has seized from criminals over time—a stash the government has recently moved to sell. Some crypto executives are calling on Mr. Trump to simply hold on to that Bitcoin, which he could most likely do with an executive order. Others are pushing a more ambitious plan in which the government would acquire tens of billions of dollars in new Bitcoin, building a “strategic reserve” they argue could benefit taxpayers in the long run.

Most likely, they will create a crypto reserve to favor some friend, a reserve of monkey nft and various shitcoins. Bitcoin is not available to be used as a reserve because most of it is in the hands of holders. You'd have to sell a lot of ETFs to be able to use an executive order and confiscate them... I think that's unlikely!

Resume:

STRK, the native token of Starknet, has been experiencing mixed sentiments. While some analysts predict a bullish trend with potential price increases, others express concerns about insider token distributions.

The current price of Starknet (STRK) is $0.4764.

Predictions suggest that STRK could reach $1.912 by the end of 2025.

Long-term forecasts indicate a potential high of $14.90 by the end of 2030.

I think that outside of the Bitcoin protocol everything is the same. in this case it's just another shitcoin. Gamblers like these things that involve the time preference of babies.

Ulbricht, a former Eagle Scout and materials science graduate, founded the Silk Road marketplace in 2011. He was 26 at the time and built Silk Road as an underground e-commerce platform that enabled then-anonymous transactions using Bitcoin.

In October 2013, he was arrested at a San Francisco public library, where FBI agents seized his laptop while it was still connected to the site's administration panel.

The Silk Road operated as the first modern darknet marketplace, facilitating $1.2 billion in Bitcoin transactions before its shutdown and establishing new patterns for anonymous online commerce.

Ulbricht received two life sentences plus 40 years without parole in 2015, convicted of money laundering, computer hacking, and narcotics trafficking charges.

The use of bitcoin as a p2p payment includes what ulbrich did. Their freedom is important so that we have monetary freedom as a value in itself.
