For sure, there can be quite a bit of devil in various details, and sometimes, if a leader describes how things are going to get done, they might be missing some of the nuance in regards to various obstacles, such as actual ownership, disputes about ownership or even how due process might play out whether there are civil claims over the coins or criminal claims, and public entities tend to have responsibilities and requirements, even if some strong leader (or strong leader wannabe) comes in and strives to streamline various public processes that even continue to exist in the USA and are going to be giving Trump push back on several of the things that he says that he is going to do or that he is wanting to do.

There have also been a lot of complaints in regards to USA executives (referring to the presidency) gaining more and more power, and some of the recent supreme court rulings seem to also had ruled in a direction that Trump will probably work towards exploiting, not like he is the kind of guy who like boundaries, which probably was part of the reason that he was elected since some of the boundaries of the other side were seeming to have their own freedom impinging inclinations.


I am not going to claim to be an expert in regards to the authority that the president has in connection with each of the agencies, since there are various kinds of agencies, and some of them are more subjected to executive orders and whims and others are not, so it is not automatic that presidents can do whatever they like, even if there is an executive agency involved in the process, and surely which agency holds the coins can make differences in regards to the process involved, and perhaps if the BTC were already held by the US treasury, then that would be different than if they are held by the department of justice or the US Marshalls, and even if there is a process in place for how to deal with various kinds of property, property rights are frequently described by states rather than the federal government, so there could be differences in regards to how the coins were seized in the first place and if there might be some state property issues involved, and of course, courts will rule on various disputes about property rights too, which they could be overruled...

oh yeah and sometimes there could be interagency courts that have to be exhausted prior to those inter-agencies being subject to appeal in federal courts, and yeah there sometimes could be ways that processes are skipped, so it is not always going to be clear about which coins are disputed and where they are disputed and what have been the past rulings and are those ruling subject to appeal (or cancelation of the process in the case of some kinds of things that executives might be able to do), and sometimes if there might be a change in the rule about how an agency treats property, there might be a need to propose such rule in the federal registry, which allows for a public comment period, and sure agencies will sometimes try to skirt those kinds of requirements, which is one of the ways that the SEC had been criticized recently in regards to it making up its own rules but not going through public processes.

Trump is not the ONLY one calling the shots, and sure maybe he (or some of the folks in his sphere making decisions and creating priorities) might be able to strike various proper balances, yet even with various government behaviors to co-opt various stable coins (even USDT), there can develop more and more ways in which those fuck twats are spying on, controlling and even limiting transactability.. so in that sense, dezoel is correct to be skeptical, even though he was a bit lame in terms of how lacking he was in the backing up of his skepticisms.

I think that we have to continue to attempt to be vigilant in regards to whatever various politicians do and what some of their actions (even when they are claiming their actions to be a good thing), especially since Trump and some of the other diptwats such as Elon, talk out of both sides of their mouth and they don't exactly have very good track records in regards to their own conduct - various  ways that Trump has used and abused debt and failed refused to follow laws based on his own selfishness, greed and gangster mentality, and Elon seems to never have had seen a government subsidy that he doesn't like, including his being a bit childish in his own behaviors whether in relation to Doggie coin or some of his other time motivations to appear as if he is the smartest one in the room (which might or might not even be true).

By the way, it could be helpful that a couple of Trump's kids seem to be helping to guide some of the understandings in regards to how bitcoin differs from shitcoins, we might still need to question the extent to which some compromises might end up coming in regards to how bitcoin might balance out with various shitcoins, stable coins, meme coins and including if there might be some CBDC type elements that are getting included in the various ways that we are able to interact or if there  are going to be allowed to be developments of privacy and direct transactions without having a bunch of traceable elements (and backdoors) that are difficult for many of us to figure out the various ways that our financial privacy and self-sovereignty is being compromised.  I am probably rambling too since I don't claim to really know how various backdoors are created and/or that we are able to operate without having to be overly surveilled and potentially controlled at some later date because of our transaction history that we might not have realized was present or maybe even in some circumstances the information about our transaction history is not even correct, but the surveillance tools are still being used to lock up normies in selective ways that can sometimes be difficult to figure out... .yeah, let out Ross is a good sign.. maybe drop the tornado cash case.. .. perhaps drop the Samarai case too.. perhaps incentivize phoenix to come back to the USA.. and other developers who have become worried about various levels of draconianism.. perhaps allow some of the earlier closed banks to open back up.. since they were clearly targeted based on their "crypto system".. perhaps intervene to make sure that Caitlin Long gets a banking license.. .. I don't know about everything, but there could be some steps that provide assurances that back doors are not as likely to happen in the coming 4 years.. and maybe even setting up systems that give assurance that it can last beyond 4 years. ..

The part Trump has played in his presidency has always given people a reason to see him for his words most times than others. Especially for Bitcoin investors given his outspokenness for the currency/industry. It would almost make anyone believe that, he would stick by a NO CBDC course but, I don’t see how he would fight his own currency and replace it with what?

There is where I would have to believe that all it takes for politicians is to undo a statement in the past with another statement.

He obviously can’t afford to be a dictator, that’s not happening in the US no.

You're right. North Dakota Senators and Representatives have introduced a bill to invest state funds in Bitcoin. If approved, it would add another colorful feather to Bitcoin's throne.
The tempting reality of Bitcoin investing is more positive.

If that many States create a Bitcoin storage, what are the odds that one of them is going to get their coins stolen?

Since some lawmakers of various State Houses of Representatives are proposing the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, it could be that it is the state legislative house has the power to make such laws. Just like there are different state laws on marijuana, abortion, etc., some Legislative House might vote against having a Bitcoin reserve. The possibility of all the states forming a single front on this issue might not be visible since they might not have similar laws.

Don’t get me started on politician promises.
I know the aren’t to be trusted, and also I know bitcoin doesn’t need heroes.
The only thing I was trying to convey is that Trump dismissing his own promises is not the central scenario this time.
Like I haven’t been surprised (on the downside) many times.

It does not.
It’s easy to put some hero on the throne, and it’s certain that sooner or later that hero will fall from the throne.
There is a reason why the only hero in the Bitcoin world disappeared: luckily, I must say, the Bitcoin ecosystem is prone to kill its idols.
This is a good thing: Bitcoin must be free and not personalised.

It’s wrong to keep trusting in Trump's words when the pattern is so clear.
Although he kept his promises about Bitcoin early on. He followed through with what he said at first but let us be real. I believe that was just a move to get people's attention to prove he is reliable.
If you still, ask me if Trump is so true on what he feels about Bitcoin is real. I cannot be completely so sure about it.
