OP, at first it would have been nice if you had explained better what you meant by "retirement account" in context, as not everybody gets it clear here what you meant by the word retirement account, as the majority of the people here are from nations or regions where such is not conversant with them, and besides this is a global platform so people would be curious to know what it means from your explanations even if I am aware of it, others too will need to have a little brief on what you meant by that.
Financial time published the news yesterday, and from the statement, It didn't mention Bitcoin specifically but it only did made reference to crypto generally as it stated that it will include cryptocurrency investments, gold and private equity. We know that Trump can be funny at times, hope this is not just a statement where at the end he take a contrary action.
I have always been skeptical of Trump's executive orders lately, as he has not been consistent with his bills. Bills of this nature always end controversially, if I am not mistaken. Although it is a good one to say because it will also add value to the crypto market but the government would always be who they are and would definitely do their own dirty job as it pleases them. Do not forget that they also want tax, and do not forget that they will always want to get them KYCed as well.
