When Trump was talking about altcoins accepted into the crypto reserve, I was surprised. Because I expected him to only announce his intention to buy Bitcoin. And at that moment, it seemed like a huge speculation to me that he was naming all these altcoin tickers on par with Bitcoin. But this did not change my thought that only Bitcoin should be in the reserve.
Because no matter how much good they say about altcoins, Bitcoin is simply phenomenally different from them. It is digital gold, and no matter how much you hold it, you will not regret it. Any altcoins cannot have the same degree of trust.
I think Donald Trump himself does not understand the essence of Bitcoin very well. The most important thing about Bitcoin is decentralization. If we assume that the US government buys up all Bitcoin, its price will not increase, but on the contrary, it will fall to zero. Does Donald Trump understand this? I am not sure.
It seems to me that for Donald Trump, Bitcoin is just a financial asset that increases in value over time. At best, he associates it with digital gold (but nothing more). And therefore, he does not really distinguish it from alternative cryptocurrencies or even meme coins.
Donald Trump is simultaneously implementing a huge number of projects - the peace process with Russia and Ukraine, containing China, buying Greenland, a trade war with Canada, the fight against illegal immigration, etc., etc.
On the topic of cryptocurrencies, he receives advice from his friends (among whom there may not be many Bitcoin maximalists, but there are many leaders of American centralized cryptocurrency projects).
