I don't understand why people seem to be in favor of these plans that the government should stockpile Bitcoin. No matter if its Trump or Kennedy, 550 daily or 1m overall.
I couldn't care less if they buy or sell Bitcoin. What I really care about is adoption. If he promised something that would bring payment possibilities to more places, shops, restaurants, bars in the US - that would be huge.
You could even argue it's a bad thing when the government owns a million Bitcoin. I want a small government. That's not gonna happen if the government owns 1/21th of total supply.
Regarding bringing payment possibilities, I think the #1 thing the government can do is the same with anything to promote business...namely don't do anything! Or in another way, remove hurdles that are preventing the people from doing the things they want to do. If allowed to act without fear or repercussions, folks will bring in those payment possibilities.
