The is govt can also just not sell the bitcoin it currently owns. Also, a bill could be passed to setup a dca for the govt. The fed doesn't have to be involved at all unless the govt decides to change the dollar backed by bitcoin in which case they can just end the fed.
The Fed controls the government, not the other way around.
The fed exists at the authority of congress. They can just pass a bill disbanding the fed.
Not saying it's likely, but that can happen
Who do you think the people will blame when inflation is at 30% because a government that only cares about surviving is printing money to buy Bitcoin?
Russia? China? The Fed can start a hot war. If itβs Bitcoiners, by then youβd have enough wealth to leave before the bread rises.
It was always about getting it to controllable entities inside US borders. One order away.
Still not sure which one is the greater threat, central banks or institutions run by high time preference individuals.
If it's the latter, the only effective solution may prove to be voting with one's suitcase.
Pumping dollars into BTC threatens the US Dollar not one iota, because -- like it or not -- BTC is pegged to the USD. It's what determines value, and it's the reason all of you watch the price. Like any other commodity traded in Chicago, its value is pegged to the strength of the US economy, which runs on fiat
Any and all government investment and interaction (as well as regulation) should be viewed through a lens of disappointment, and as an impediment to the kind of future you beautiful starry-eyed people want to see. What's correct about this post -- the reason I feel a need to write this at all -- is the tone of caution: no government is going to wound its own economy, and everything we scheme about the future of crypto should be through this lense.
ah, for FUCK ACTUAL SAKE.
Fed is _not_ private. Get real, dude

What bearing does that have on the strategic deserve debate? Who cares what we label central banks, if our goal is to eliminate them, along with the State?
PS as an aside, Iβm starting to think these terms public/private have lost meaning anyway. Could make a case that the State itself is a private organization. Would be cool to chat with you sometime about that. Wouldnβt be surprised if someone from MisesU wrote about it already.
Not relevant
"the government does not own or control the Fed"
I link a post directly addressing that claim...and you say "not relevant"...?
How does that negate Saifedeanβs central point, that the government buying ~1M BTC would kill the sacred cow dollar and presumable the Fed along with it? Are you saying that if itβs not private, then it has no say in or power over whether or not it gets to exist? What does that technicality mean in practice, in regard to the Bitcoin strategic reserve?

Seems like wise and reasonable advice.
Even if it's just through zaps mostly humbly I am gonna keep on stacking sats.
Source?
Interesting. Would the FED not bow to pressure from increasing public sentiment + Trump administration? They have to maintain face as well in all this
A criminal organisation which is above nation state does not bow to public sentiments.
Thanks for posting this π
Bottom line βkeep stacking Satsβ
Strategic reserve would bring the cantillon effect directly to Bitcoin price
Can you elaborate?
It would bring government deficit spending, the biggest single source of inflation, directly into the bitcoin market cap. Basically spraying the money faucet all over bitcoiners.
And if they really hold it for 20 years, theyβll be able to clear the dollar denominated debt.
It seems to me like the most likely version monetary reset.
Whatever it takes to kill the central bank and then the State.
