SEC Chair

As I understand it, by law Trump cannot replace the SEC chair for a few more years. When that happens, the net effect will probably still be small since most of that job is determined by Congress.

This is not going to happen. It's simply ridiculous. And besides, how many people here would like the price of Bitcoin to be at the whim of the US government? That's what they use the national oil reserve to do, although that is only a small portion of the supply. The US could actually buy all of the supply of Bitcoin if it wanted to--and even 20% of it would allow the US government to manipulate the price.

But if they proposed this, when Apple would lobby the government for a "strategic AAPL reserve", and holders of ETH would demand a "strategic ETH reserve" and so on. This idea is simply idiotic.

Taxes
Bitcoin or crypto transactions will be taxed less.

Bitcoin and crypto transactions are not taxed in the USA.

Repealing the capital gains tax is something Republicans have wanted to do for a long time, but they would do this for all assets, not just Bitcoin.

where do you see bitcoin, specifically in the US, 4 years from now?[/b]

I see it as one of many major digital currencies, but maybe not even the most valuable one anymore. Bitcoin doesn't scale to mainstream transaction loads, and the future of digital currency is mainstream transactions.
