Well, I don't think it was a mere comment from Trump for the sake of electioneering. I believe he meant it and more likely to carry it out than not executing it. Trump will not like to fail on that and be seen as talks without actions. Already, people see him an loquacious and I don't think he would want to prove them right.
Well, assuming that is his serious intention, I wonder how he will go about it. Because according to the news I read, the US government and the Fed are two completely separate agencies and do not have to obey each other's orders. Meanwhile, as we all know, national reserves are held by central banks (Fed) and not by the government. I guess you didn't miss the Fed statement on bitcoin and that's why I'm not bullish on bitcoin reserves.
I also supported Trump in the election but I don't believe in his Bitcoin reserve strategy and I consider it a statement aimed at winning votes.
Yes, I checked and no single BTC had been withdrawn from that wallet. Indeed, it's not good news. If we already dipped to this point when the said BTC hadn't even been touched, we can imagine what we happen when the market is flooded with it.
That's what i mean, if those bitcoins were actually sold the market would react more negatively. Many people see this as good news, I hope they bought and will buy more if the price continues to fall like they say.
It is surprising that we are in the bull season and everyone wants Bitcoin to go up sharply to take profits but there are also people who expect Bitcoin to go down at this time.
