"Unpopular opinion: A Bitcoin Strategic Reserve is not it;
A Bitcoin Strategic Reserve is not the answer.
The moment a government holds Bitcoin as a reserve, it centralizes control over an asset designed to be decentralized. It strengthens the very system Bitcoin was created to replace.
Governments holding Bitcoin do not give power to the people, they give themselves a hedge while continuing to debase their fiat currency. They still print, they still tax, they still control. The people remain trapped in the same system, only now with a government-backed Bitcoin price floor that serves the state, not the individual.
Bitcoin was not made to be stockpiled by central banks. It was made to be used. As currency, as a tool of self-sovereignty, as a weapon against state overreach.
The solution is not a government reserve, it is the separation of money and state. A system where no central authority can control issuance, manipulate supply, or inflate away value.
Not a new reserve. A new system. One where Bitcoin is the national currency, where governments cannot print, cannot manipulate, cannot steal through inflation.
Power belongs to the people, not to the state. Anything less is just a more sophisticated form of control."
