 It’s private capital, That’s the whole fucking point. So sad to see financial liberty pioneers falling for fucking politics. You have bitcoin? That’s your business, And nobody else’s. You know who cares? You and the people you give bitcoin to. Everyone else can mind their own business. 
 I don’t see this as “falling for politics”. It’s observing game theory and reality and predicting how it will play out. 
 I would still buy use and hold bitcoin irregardless of who won any election, And I have no expectations that the government gives any kind of shit about my existence, Honestly I feel the same about Bitcoin. It is literally just an algorithm running in many computers around the world for me to use at my discretion. Nobody has ever given me a significant amount of Bitcoin and the people who love me most have given me more money than any government or protocol user. People do not care and governments do not either. Look out for yourself and the ones you love is the only game theory. 
 Aside from this, The US government “strategic reserve” is still not The Federal Reserve “strategic reserve”. Politics man, They make you think you are important to a person who just wants your support so they have a job, Or stay out of prison if they are a convicted felon.
