i'd say i'm probably against the crypto reserve even if i'm happy to benefit from it like why should the US government purchase these coins? any answer for where the money comes from is also not really enjoyable

how does a government typically hedge its currency risks?

no clue, but: - doesn't seem like that's the purpose. seems more about positioning the crypto capital of the world and whatnot - even if so, only btc makes sense for that anyways https://warpcast.com/six/0x46345546

curious how you could say it’s not the purpose. What is a strategic *reserve* if not for hedging currency risk? Sure the optics around US hegemony in crypto are there narrative wise But ETH > BTC long-term

maybe it's the purpose, idk much abt this sort of thing isn't bitcoin the only thing designed for that? feel like everything else does not really function as an inflation hedge but rather as a bet on their respective smart contract platforms. which, maybe eth does outperform btc long term, but it's a different "mandate" than digital gold at that point its less of a strategic reserve and more of an sovereign investment fund
