Adopt a National Bitcoin Reserve, starting with coins seized from criminals. Mandate a reserve purchasing strategy as a small % of the fiscal budget (even .1% would be enough).
Bitcoin is an open ledger blockchain technology which maintains native digital coins referred to as “bitcoins”. It is transparent, permissionless, and immutable, making it superior to all other forms of currency ever created.
Why is Bitcoin worth having as part of our national reserve holdings?
-
a limited supply of 21,000,000 coins is programmed in Bitcoin’s software. This feature means no individual or government can created create inflation. Contrast to gold which has supply only limited by our ability to harvest it from the ground (and eventually outer space).
-
It acts as fiat default insurance. If the USD ever collapses, which historically speaking it will, then Bitcoin’s value as a currency increases tremendously. Our government has a fiduciary duty to hedge this risk and Bitcoin meets the criteria.
-
Owning Bitcoin acts as a proactive strategic move against our enemies who want to topple the US’s economic power.
There are many more reasons, so feel free to add them in the comments and will update the list.
