 When do we get to the point when Central Banks get #Bitcoin FOMO?

Like, the Bank of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 should have around ~1% of the BTC supply held as reserves (maybe up to 3%?), which would currently cost £5.8B

Which is a lot, but not actually for Govt. They can afford to lose £6B but can they afford to have no Bitcoin? It’s an asymmetric bet.

It’d have cost £600M less if they’d pulled the trigger a few weeks ago, and £2.9B less if they’d done it in November last year.

One day it will cost too much to be doable - that day might be coming real soon
