I still remember DT talking about Bitcoin in Twitter when he wasn't giving a s*** for it some years ago when he got elected. And now he wants to create a reserve, yes, that's where we are now. Perhaps he had not yet accumulated enough at that time.
Some candidates can boost adoption while some others slow it down, but I am of your same opinion when you say that it matters little in general as to its future.
That is called development, it changes over time the moment it flip the tides, often when people fully understand it. Regardless for politicians, i will call them "turncoat", just to get votes of the majority using it.
