I know this is old news, but how good would it be if they pissed a whole bunch of gold away on BitCoin and everyone dumped, tanking the price, and losing the US trillions of dollars.

I mean good from a theoretical way, it would be absolutely devastating for the state of the world.

The correct thing to do is ban all the digital coins.

All they used for is tax avoidance. While raising electric bills

Decent digital currency wouldnt use much electricity and would stop hyperinflation occuring in countries experiencing extreme issues. Being that taxes are standardly on income and sales, where is it you are saying they are dodging taxes? (Bitcoin isn't a good digital currency, but neither should a decent one be run by the country)

The US has a bitcoin reserve? First I've heard of it. Whatever, but using gold to buy it makes no sense.

[-] Redditsux@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They don't. It's being floated. Trump said he's going to create a reserve. Not an official act yet.

They already have some digital currency that was acquired mostly by civil forfeiture.

Sounds like a good way to lose money.

Assume this is out to deflect from the War room signal story.

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.
