It would have stayed apolitical if no governments would have purchased it or talked about creating a bitcoin reserve. Since big corporations are buying it, especially in US, it's not apolitical anymore. Just like oil, countries have already started building their Bitcoin reserve. So it's not apolitical.
I share that slight
uncomfortable sentiment about governments' strategic reserves.
It's a real threat to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has always thrived without the support from corporates and governments. It used to be a common people's currency system. At least that's how Satoshi had envisaged it. But unfortunately, governments and corporates are positioning themselves in a way where they can manipulate the market at their will.
I am not saying that these entities will manipulate the market. But having that power to manipulate is scary to others. Bitcoin as an asset is not political, but it's usage can be political and can also harm the common holders like us. That's my concern!
