 The United States government should hold zero #bitcoin.

Separate money and state. 
 Mr. The Daniel, u are correct 
 Yes, the whole point is to make us more powerful than them now, not the other way round.  
 Do religion first… 
 They’re already separated yeah? The federal reserve is a private entity. We don’t even hold our own cuck bucks😂🤦‍♀️ 
 How about this. There should be no US government. 
 Your terms are acceptable 
 FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️ The US government helped create #bitcoin 

How TF is that obvious to everyone.

 You’ll get your wish.

Looks like all Trump needs to do is support the opposite of whatever policy he wants and this regime will aggressively oppose it. 
 Yurrrrr 
 Let's start by stripping away their ability to print it first.  
 They don't. The Federal Reserve does. 
 Really? lol. 
 I can't tell if you're that ignorant, or just an ass.  
 Dude, I know about the FED and government. You were missing the point. Take away the money printer by making it obsolete. I don't want to get into a discussion of the technical classifications of the FED. I know its relationship to the federal government. Now I'm getting into it... 
 You can say I'm missing the point, but you just clarified the mistake I was pointing out. Thank you for coming clean. 
 I assumed people knew what I knew. I consider the banks and the state a cabal. The FED supposedly answers to the government...

I just get annoyed by these types of exchanges. Like the "we are a democracy, no we are a republic" argument. It gets so tiresome.  
 If we don't have definitions, we don't have language. That's why they are frequently under attack. Changing the langage changes the way people think. Thought creates reality.

If you think The Fed answers to the government, in any way, then you are far from understanding their relationship. 
 No national government should hold bitcoin. 
 The German government seems to have a solid understanding of this. 😂 
 I'm more interested in separating the bank from the state. Money is not the issue. 
 Well, if you'd like to be able to use it as a medium for exchange, then wouldn't it make sense that you could pay your taxes with it?

If so, wouldn't the Government need to receive it (and hold it)?

Granted, I'm not sure I like what I'm suggesting, but just thinking this through it would seem the Government would have to hold some? 
 The US will be strong when individuals own the BTC. We don't need more Fed power. 
 The fed will never give up complete control, so them using what we want is at least a plus. We will also always need paper money or coins, I would be much happier if it was backed by something like bitcoin than oil or gold. 
 Thank you, we don't need the government, politicians or "reserves".
