I smell something fishy in this approach because they will not have the same effect as the US buying Bitcoin directly, and I think Trump seems to be evading doing that. This is just my thinking.... instead of lending money to people and asking them to pay back in Bitcoin, why not buy the Bitcoin directly? How long will the money stay before they pay back, one year, two, or even ten years? Will Trump be in office when that money will be paid back? Something is definitely not clear with this statement.

It's not a totally whack idea from where Trump sits POV. You lend people dollars and they pay back in Bitcoin. Fine. But they now have dollars which they have to spend which eventually pretty much have to end up buying stuff from the US anyway. So win-win for the US and may be a way to extend dollar hegemony beyond the ever-shaky looking petro-dollar. Now, whether it would fly is another question...

it could go like this:
1) country borrows 2bn$ from the US
2)buys BTC for 1bn$ and spends 1bn$
3)BTC makes more than a 2x after 4 years.
4)country pays back the BTC that they bought 4 years earlier (now at least worth: 2bn$ + interest for the loan)
5)US puts BTC into their reserve

For the borrowing country it can be a Saylor move on the nation state level, or.. they just get 1bln$ for free to spend
For the US:
- keeping the influence they always had from lending out USD (contracts for US firms etc)
- pushing the usage of USD
- accumulating BTC for the economy of the future
looks actually quite genius ... at least from my retard brain

From my perspective, an even longer timeline makes even more sense...

1) Country DCAs into bitcoin over 1-2 cycles
2) waits 1-2 cycles (perhaps buying more BTC on dips and/or just HODLing through one or two cycles)
3) country weighs its options after 2-4 cycles of having had been in bitcoin, which may not even need to sell any bitcoin in order to have had increased (improved) options from the time that cuntry started investing into bitcoin and when they later get to a stage in which they likely have way more options.

Oh cool, 101k!

But lets be honest, 100k is so 2024. Next is 200k.

It still feels good.. these supra $100k price arenas.

Can btc "make" it to 100k by 12am Central?
there is a chance...
It would be nice to start a new week above 100K Grin

if you had not gotten the memo, in bitcoinlandia, new weeks start at 12 am UTC.. #justsaying.

My "internal" memo says that MY day starts at 12am, hence the reference to a new week
"We are no computers,<insert name of a character>, we are physical".

It's all relative, remember Wink

?

Wrong...

Happy NEW $100K+!

This is just the beginning of this year we should expect more of it.. 20th gonna be a better days for the green..

Have you ever heard about, "buy the rumor, sell the news?"

It is a possibility that should not be ruled out. I am not saying it is going to happen, but it is a possibility that should be considered.
