If we mark our gold to market, we could sell just 10% of it, hold what btc we have, buy $50B more btc. Then just sit on it. If we do it, every other civilized country will do it, which will be massively accretive to our reserve. Again just 10% diversification from gold.

I’d rather tokenize the gold and add a few other metals and strategic stockpiles and develop a currency that is represented by all of these reserves including Bitcoin. Redeemable in gold, silver or Bitcoin.

This version of a Bitcoin reserve is short sighted and of course everyone wants their bags pumped. I’d rather it not be tied to dollar debt. Selling gold at a time when BRICS are about to announce a gold backed money is counter productive for our country.

We also need to protect against a Blackrock fork away from proof of work.

I buy Bitcoin because there is no alternative that is better. If there is a redeemable gold/silver note. This might change for a lot of governments, etc.

I do think the act will fail and I will buy the dip.
