Now ladies and gentlemen I will astound you with demonstration of my mighty mystical methods. Right before your very eyes I will make this gold disappear. Not just to your eyes, not just to thin air, but such that it will only be a logical concept of worth. One, two, three...............
The One Piece is real
So personally, I think the government should have some, but I don't specifically think selling gold for it is the right idea.
Everyone seems to be on about how this is just about cashing out his buddies, but what I'm worried about is these dumbfucks won't know how to properly secure it or won't properly secure it and itll get easily stolen, or they'll outright steal it themselves.
Like they just used signal to talk about bombing Yemen and included a journalist on it...
So while I think it's not a bad idea to have some, it's fucking terrifying that Trump is doing this and can influence it.
How do you think they're going to transfer the money on a more mature coin? Oops, we lost the keys.
Oh look Putin and Thiel randomly managed to find the keys to America's Bitcoins.
Hey Putin,
We'll give you some more gold to get it back, say $0.75 on the dollar so you get a finders fee?
Putin - Sounds great!
two weeks later
Shit we lost them again, Thiel seems to have them this time, maybe he'll give them back to us for $0.75 on the dollar as well!

The Orange Turd is such a genius.
I've never been this high
What Happened: Bo Hines, the executive director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, suggested in an interview that the U.S. could capitalize on the gains from its gold holdings to purchase more Bitcoin.

Robert "Bo" Hines (born August 29, 1995) is an American former college football player from North Carolina. He played college football for the NC State Wolfpack and Yale Bulldogs. In 2022, he was the Republican nominee in North Carolina's 13th congressional district.
Call me a traditionalist, but it seems to me that if you're going to be advising the President on digital assets, it'd be nice to have an economics background.
Just to add, he is a lawyer. He did politics to law pipeline. And yeah there's typically no economic requirement to that like there would be with other political science paths.

None of the rest of Trump's cabinet have any qualifications, so why should this guy?
Or chicklets if they don't have change. But you watch out, if you come back home with chicklets your mom and dad are gonna be pissed. So best to chew them before getting home.
The biggest pump and dump scam of all time?
Fuck bitcoin. Let's bring back the beanie-baby as a monetary standard.
Musk starts eyeing the old boxes full of them in his basement...
I see your beanie babies and raise you Pogs

Some real emperor's new clothes shit right here. At this point we should just put a slot machine on the flag
Gotta give Russia the liquidity to exit its BTC positions if the war and sanctions will soon be over.
Recently pardoned Dread Pirate Roberts will be appointed the head of the Department of Internet Currency Keeping.
He's the best at bitcoin.
Undoubtedly he'd resign or get scapegoated though, and truck will need to find and appoint a new DICK head.
