But who will pay the tariffs? 😅 

 ‘You trade in our currency that you have no control over or else’ 🤦‍♂️ 
The irony 

 It’s still cheaper than holding USD when the printers go brrrrrrrrrrrr 

 👌 

 Remind me of what the US produces that the rest of the world needs?

Even the US made weapons of war have turned out to be overpriced, overcomplicated, ineffective junk compared to the competition. 

 Consumers 

 Combine both.

 Err .... Putin might privately disagree with this assessment. 

 Culture was a good one for a while, but lately we’ve not been the cream of the crop 

 💵😂 

 Financial engineering 😂 

 Mandibles! 

 My thought a exactly  

 …. introduce something in a sly roundabout way….. 

 Asinine. Keep weaponizing the currency. It only speeds the transition along to a new standard along.  

 Are you saying the new Bitcoin standard is asinine? 

 No, that threatening others with dollarized warfare is asinine. The Bitcoin Standard is an unavoidable given at this point. If anything, this plan just accelerates the transition.  

 Which why it is a great plan. It accelerates Bitcoinization of EVERYTHING.  See? 

 True. It dawned on me riding the elevator earlier that maybe that is the 4D chess going on here. Back the currency with Bitcoin, then force the world to use the currency or face punishment, passively bolster Bitcoin.  

 Maybe free Ross day one umkay. Then you can start talking all the shit you want.

Just free Ross. Then you can have fun playing politics with the GOP Zionists.

 Not really. Since this is saying, he will just ban them from using legally in the US. 

 What is he talking about ? When China sells to India is he demanding that they use dollars?  Is he demanding that they hold our debt in THEIR treasuries ?

BRICs should just walk away, Trump SHOULD drop the Tariff hammer and the USA should just rush to a Bitcoin National Reserve.  

we can then cut our own deals individually. Pretty sure Korea, Japan, Vietnam and various US friends can supply us as we reconstitute our manufacturing base. 

 Expected… 

 Fiat is so fucked. 

 As I always said
The lesser of two evils 

 Did he pass this statement by Musk? 

 This has no direct implications for Bitcoin and he's not an accelerationist, which I happen to like, so frankly this is smart and was expected.  

 Fear theory. They are desperate, the US. Better have some Bitcoin. 

 he's delusional 

 The Stoics said: The ego is the enemy. And Bitcoin IS an ego killer. But he simply doesn't know that. 

 Tariffs bring to more inflation. 

 🤣 

 Watch what he does, not what he says.  

 "have fun ..."

where have i heard this expression before in bitcoin culture

oh yeah, Herr Drumpf , Ja Wohl Mein Fuehrer HFSP

 Hasn’t The mighty US dollar already lost 99 % of its purchasing power? 

Not so mighty lol 

And he’s kinda contradicting himself threatening anyone who backs another currency…. Seeing him at bitcoin 2024 
And buying burgers with sats at pubkey… and taking donations in a superior currency etc  

 LOL how about GFY and your mighty dollar? 

 This is good for #Bitcoin 

 He's threatening to impoverish people essentially right? 

 Yeah, directly to Govt officials. Indirectly to the citizens. Defending the USD is a part of the job atm. Things will get awkward when a Bitcoin Stockpile gets established... 

 He says he wants to have a strategic Bitcoin reserve and to protect self-custody rights? And also that he wants the dollar to remain as the world reserve currency? Something is not adding up 🤔 

 Entirely possible he is sending out multiple signals in order to not be predicable in some of his actions. I'm hopeful about the Bitcoin Reserve, but on the fence if it'll happen.

The important thing to me is that he actually said he would do it on a public platform, pushing the Game Theory of Nation State adoption further.

It don't matter if he actually does it, other countries think he will and they are speeding up their timelines. My two cents. 

 That makes sense 🤝 

 😂

 What about it they use crypto as a reserve currency? Even Trump has been mooting that!

 Apparently he didn't read Broken Money by @LynAlden 

 You think this man reads books? Probably he would be wise if this was true. 

 they've been talking about creating a new currency literally for 20 years and have zero progress so he can blather on all he wants but it doesn't make any difference 

 Why would they even try to make a new currency when Bitcoin is the obvious solution? 

 Lol BRICS nation products just got shit expensive for no reason 

 Bitcoin or Brrrrrrrrr?🤔😆🤣🤣🤣


nostr:note13srffynhz6preytc0jmn07rl8vzw5adh7xexc6x27s4jj5uwrd2q5qqhet 

 he talks about creating a bitcoin reserve, but still wants dollar to be king. Yet what he says/his policies are like a wrecking ball aimed at the dollar. Hmmm it's almost like he's speeding up the chaos that makes bitcoin skyrocket 

 L move
