Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Governments don't want crypto. Trump is only saying this because he is appealing to crypto investors and crypto bros. There is no way this is ever implemented.
I think you underestimate the willingness of the sycophants in his administration to do his bidding.
A large number of Democratic politicians just signed a letter saying they want the exact same thing. I just posted it in a comment, or you can search it. They released it on July 26th, 2024. I commented it yesterday.
Governments do want BTC, and governments all around the world are holding it. Every year, governments hold more and more of it. This is public information. The fact that it disagrees with your imagination doesn't change the facts.
Governments hold all kinds of investments thats not relevant to what is being discussed. The above comment was talking about goverments using crypto as a reserve currency. Governments holding crypto would only be relevant if it was a majority of their investment portfolio which would be fucking insane.
We shall see. At the moments both Dems and Republicans are discussing it, it is becoming a non-partisan issue as we speak. It is a matter of getting ahead of any other country that realizes its value and use. Citizens are welcome to come along for the ride and help equalize wealth inequality, or they can stay uneducated and bitter and stuck in the past.
