Economist: Trumps national Bitcoin reserve plan has no real economic benefits

Former US President Donald Trump announced that he would establish a national Bitcoin reserve program if he were re-elected, but James Angel, an economist at Georgetown University who specializes in financial markets, said, I dont see any real economic benefits. The actual benefit is that Bitcoin will make Bitcoin enthusiasts vote for Trump. James Angel pointed out that investing in Bitcoin can offset the loss of spending power caused by inflation.

The US government can push up the price by buying Bitcoin, which makes it look like the government has made a lot of money, but once the government starts selling Bitcoin for profit, the price will fall again.
