On Jan 23, Trump announced a new crypto working group to propose regulations and even explore building a national crypto stockpile. Part of the plan also seems to protect banking services for crypto companies after claims that regulators were pressuring banks to cut them off. He also ruled out central bank digital currencies. Thoughts?

Yeah, like Fort Knox, but instead of gold, it’s a USB drive.

Billions of taxpayer dollars spent, only for the janitor to toss it in the trash by accident.

If a janitor can access billions of dollars, there are way bigger problems.

Or they get promoted for ‘loyalty,’ like Arkansas’ governor.

If the president is stockpiling crypto, security isn’t exactly priority one.

The stash will probably end up in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

You know the stockpile will just be $TRUMP coin. The guy needs someone to buy it so he can sell his share without tanking the price.

Exactly. No one else would buy that much without crashing the market.

Bet they’ll buy Trump and Melania NFTs while they’re at it. Such a solid investment, right?

So the plan is to buy something that insiders can front-run and sell for billions? Classic.
