The point I'm trying to make is that Bitcoin will keep growing and getting bigger without reserves so we shouldn't see these things or people as the authors and finishers of bitcoin. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware of the significance of a bitcoin reserve in the US, but bitcoin doesn't need a reserve to succeed. It simply needs the market to keep trusting in it. Even with a reserve and people don't trust it, it will be worthless.
The reason for the talk of reserves and the reason for big corporations getting into bitcoin is to make a profit, which means they need bitcoin to make a profit, but bitcoin doesn't need them to grow and that's why I said they need bitcoin more than bitcoin needs them.

I mean it's obvious that Bitcoin has been existing without those nations thinking of it as their Bitcoin reserve. But it could be the Bitcoin is really evolving in the last 7 years, with institutions coming in the picture early and then company or personality like Saylor entering as well and then country like El Salvador. So I guess it's not that bad that we have been in a slow process and who knows what will be next in the picture.

So no harm done here, Bitcoin will be Bitcoin no matter what. But at least it has become one of the best assets because if there will be country like USA using it as a strategic reserve then it will bolsters it reputation and the global adoption that we all wanted might happen.
