I just listened to this and am kinda shocked at the applause for the US to hold 4 million bitcoin. WTF are these people thinking? You want bitcoin to centralize just to pump your bags? WTF!
Other parts of the speech I more align with like no taxes and no tracking. Not that any of this matters as he's very unlikely to become president. Well, maybe he has a chance if Trump gets killed.
IDK, maybe this is all inevitable with bitcoin becoming mainstream.
He's just a politician using cheap promises. NEVER TRUST ANY POLITICIAN! FUCK'EM'ALL
These are the "bitcoiners" when they hear a politician making cheap promises about Bitcoin...

How would making the US gov this massive whale makes the network more centralized?
reply
They would own 20% of the supply

Please explain to me how this is bad for decentralization given the current consensus mechanism.
In my understanding, all a whale could do is try to manipulate the price, down or up. Since there would be no economic reason to drive it down, what's the problem?

OK, let's say that a pro BTC gov holds 20% of the supply. The next president to come in is a dollar maximalist and they dump it. The price goes to zero.
It just becomes less attractive if most of the supply is in the hands of a bad actor.
BTW, doing the math on this its pretty much impossible or would take 20-30 years.

Absolute nonsense 😂
