A wind of dissent is blowing over Washington

A legislator is directly challenging Donald Trump's initiative to create a strategic reserve of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

A wave of dissent is brewing in Washington as a legislator has openly challenged Donald Trump's initiative to create a strategic reserve of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

This new initiative, which has been the subject of much speculation, aims to build up a treasury holdings of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The goal, as stated by the Trump administration, is to strengthen the United States' position in the digital asset market and guarantee a strategic stock of cryptos.

However, the legislator, who preferred not to be identified, claims that this project is more dubious than visionary, and that it is being touted without any consideration for its true implications.

According to him, the narrative peddled by the administration about diversifying U.S. treasury holdings is a complete fabrication. In reality, this project is more focused on funneling a financial windfall to investors already well-positioned in the bitcoin market.

Among these investors, a large portion are influential Republican donors, making this decision appear more like a political favor than a rigorously planned economic strategy.

This initiative has also drawn criticism from a member of the Federal Reserve, who described the idea as "the greatest monetary absurdity ever contemplated".

An opinion that is likely to be shared by many economists, who are concerned that this new initiative will expose public finances to reckless risks.

Unlike gold, the historical reserve of nations, bitcoin offers no guarantee of stability and its price can collapse on a simple tweet from Elon Musk or a sudden Chinese regulation.

Ultimately, this new project is more an entanglement of private interests and public funds, hastily thrown together in the final days of Trump’s term.

It is an initiative that is being hastily prepared without any consultation with Congress or respect for transparency.

This new crypto initiative is rapidly becoming a point of contention. As reports of its cancellation surface, the calculus of those involved is shifting.

Those opposed to the administration's stance are mobilizing to scuttle the administration's plans.
