Why the US strategic reserve is a bad thing for crypto.Another Controversial Opinion
Honestly, I’m frustrated with how this is unfolding. Crypto was never meant to be controlled by the USA—it was created as a humanitarian concept to empower individuals, offering a decentralized, anonymous, and universally accessible financial system.
But, as always, when there's money, resources, or anything valuable, the USA steps in to take control.
Take the music industry as an example—one of many sectors transformed (or destroyed) by the US.
Why Is the US Crypto Stockpile a Bad Thing?
Because it goes against Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision.
By aggressively accumulating and stockpiling Bitcoin, the US is making crypto less attractive to the rest of the world. People who assume every country will blindly follow the US are mistaken. What's beneficial for the US is not necessarily good for China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, or any country competing against US financial dominance.
Unlike gold, which can be mined anywhere, the US stockpiling over 200,000 Bitcoin gives it a massive advantage. Other nations may reject crypto simply because they see it becoming a US-controlled asset.
The Political Weaponization of Crypto
Now, Trump is positioning himself as "The Crypto President"—which, while beneficial under his leadership, means that Democrats will inevitably become the anti-crypto party.
Turning crypto into a political weapon is dangerous in the long run. Is gold tied to a political party? No. So why should crypto be?
Conclusion
Crypto needed regulation, and that’s it.
The US obsession with controlling everything valuable often ends up destroying it.
Let’s not forget: crypto is nothing without its global communities—and where are most of these people? In countries that are actively resisting US financial dominance, primarily in the BRICS nations.
When Trump and his family rug-pulled $1 billion through Trump/Melania meme coins, that money didn’t just come from the US—it came mostly from foreign investors gambling on memes.
This is not what Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned when he released Bitcoin as open-source software for humanity.
The end result? The SPX500 dictates the market, Bitcoin follows, and altcoins mirror Bitcoin. Wall Street is now the puppet master of crypto.
If crypto follows the path of the music industry, billionaires will get richer, but ordinary people won’t. Altcoins will be wiped out, and Bitcoin will dominate everything.
