Questions for discussion:
Would you trust Bitcoin or crypto assets in your retirement account?
Retirement savings last for a long time. Public servants in my country could work for the government for as much as thirty-five years. And in all these years they are keeping some of their earnings in retirement accounts. Bitcoin is more profitable when it is given a long-term approach. Therefore, investing retirement funds in Bitcoin could be a good move. I will gladly accept Bitcoin as a retirement asset if I control my wallet keys.
Is this a smart move or a risky gamble for long-term ]savings?
All investments or assets have some level of risk. Since it is a long-term investment plan, it's a smart move.
Could this decision pressure other countries to regulate crypto more clearly?
The US is a role model to many countries. After Trump talked about Bitcoin reserve, lawmakers from other countries began to consider making laws that would mandate governments to establish Bitcoin reserves. Don't be surprised if other nations amend their retirement investment laws to accommodate crypto.
