Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
I don't know if we fully realize what good times have come for BTC. 4-5 years ago we dreamed of ETFs and that one day the US would consider Bitcoin as similar to gold. ETFs have been a reality for a long time now, and the huge influence in this market is evident. I generally do not approve of Trump as a person and because of his policy towards Ukraine. But it is a fact that this is the first president to speak out in favor of Bitcoin and promising to make it a national reserve asset. This is already happening in the state of Pennsylvania. Coincidentally or not, it was precisely the state that decided the battle in his favor. I think it's safe to say that Trump won thanks to the votes of bitcoin holders as well. What's next - first for it to actually happen in the US. If the bill to buy 1 million bitcoins is approved, it will have a "huuuge" (
) impact on the market. Soon after, Europe and China will follow suit. I am absolutely convinced that Germany will one day buy the same bitcoins that it sold at many times higher price. All this makes me happy and proud that hodlers like us, the WO gang, have always been visionaries and envisioned things long before they happened. And this is rewarded with the profit we have.

Trump doesn't have to "thank" anyone except those with big wallets who financed his campaign, and ordinary people served the purpose of voting anyway, and for the last time as Trump promised them.
Even if the US starts buying BTC for its reserves, I don't believe that the EU would follow that example, let alone China. The ECB with Lagarde at the head has an extremely negative attitude towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, while China with its communist ideology does not want anything it cannot control, and even less something in which the US will have a large share.
As for Germany, it was not the German government that seized or sold BTC, it was a German province where the seizure took place, and they only followed the law in liquidating the seized funds. In addition, I think that the member states of the Eurozone cannot make any investments of this type without the ECB - a few years ago, the question of selling part of Italy's gold arose, considering that at that time they were the third country in the world in terms of gold reserves. As far as I remember, the ECB commented that selling gold to refinance debts is not an option.
