I wasn’t referring to anyone, it was a more general statement and commentary on the volatility in crypto

Definitely agree with you on that point. Volatility ruins a lot of people who can't take it

Same, but short term, it could be a sell the news event.

XRP owners, do you not care that XRP stands against everything crypto and Satoshi envisioned?

We still have Bitcoin but obviously not the way it was originally imagined. I’m not gonna keep my money out of XRP based on principle. We are watching a new financial system take shape and nothing is going to stop it. I firmly believe XRP is gonna go to insane numbers based on adoption and utility so I’m heavily invested and I’ll be holding on for the ride.

quote:

Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.

It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.

The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”

Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.

The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.

IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT

President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. Those promises have been kept.

This Executive Order underscores President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

I want to thank the President for his leadership and vision in supporting this cutting-edge technology and for his rapid execution in supporting the digital asset industry. His administration is truly moving at “tech speed.”

I also want to thank the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets — especially Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — for their help and support in getting this done. Finally Bo Hines played a critical role as Executive Director of our Working Group.

I literally have not seen a single person who read the EO correctly. This is MORE than I was hoping for:

-BTC recognized as a valuable strategic asset by the largest economy in the world.

-BTC and shitcoins now officially separated in US government policy. Shitcoins seized won’t be sold, only Bitcoin is worth accumulating.

-Bessent and Lutnick authorized to develop budget neutral strategies for further acquisition.

Literally what else was anyone hoping for? This is everything.

If this doesn’t make you fully erect you are retarded and can’t read.

Reserve currencies by definition are largely budget neutral.

Another winner coming out of the summit could be LINK. Lots of talk about tokenization, and Nazarov seems like he’ll be a key voice in that issue.

My opinion if it gets adopted broadly and replaces Swift I think anywhere between 50-250 could be realistic especially if tokens in escrow get released.
