 And even if they would they're the last people we'd want holding it. Nature is healing and rebalancing power.  
 Obviously 
 Mallers was just on McCormacks pod and Mallers expresses skepticism about Trump's rumored plan to buy Bitcoin, suggesting that if he genuinely cared about acquiring Bitcoin, he would have done so quietly before making public announcements.  -what a great episode.  Short and sweet. 
 Correct, I’ve been saying this. If you play by game theory rules you’re not going to announce you’re buying a scare asset as you’d get front run. The price suggests the likelyhood of him buying btc as a reserve asset is extremely low. 
 Really well put! Hope all the Bitcoin padcasters read this..... 
 It's hard to argue with that. 
 It seemed a bit careless and reckless, announcing bitcoin reserve.

You would basically be signaling to tbe entire geopolitical landscape that you are abandoning your own currency, which by the way, acts as the global reserve, in favor of bitcoin. 

Would this not trigger a global economic "arms race" for bitcoin? 

Seems like the bloodiest, scariest possible road to hyperbitcoinization.  
 Fantastic explanation!

 A man is a genius when he express something you probably could not think for yourself and still, after the explanation, you say: - Of course, it's obbvious! 
 For a massive BRO 😎 view … agreed  
 It's a good rant.
