đ„ CZ says one thingâcrypto could split into camps
CZ has just made a proposal thatâs controversial enough to cause a stir: if a country builds a crypto reserve, he usually leans toward stablecoinsâchoosing the 5 largest cryptos by market cap and allocating them according to their market cap. This formula could make BTC take up more than 50%, ETH around 10â20%, and BNB would also show up.
Sounds very bullish.
But I have another question:
đ If the goal is to protect the domestic currency, why prioritize crypto over gold?
If a country wants to preserve the strength of its currency, it doesnât just need an asset that can appreciate.
It needs something that can serve as reserve assets, provide liquidity, diversify risk, and support confidence in the monetary system.
And here, gold still has a very different position. đ„
Itâs not by chance that central banks keep accumulating gold. Even the Czech National Bank has recently researched both gold and Bitcoin: they continue targeting 100 tons of gold, while deciding not to include BTC in foreign exchange reserves yet, because Bitcoinâs characteristics and history are still full of uncertainty.
BTC could be âdigital goldâ.
But calling it digital gold doesnât mean it has already played the same role as gold in a countryâs reserve system.
And this is where I want to take sides:
đ TEAM BTC:
âBitcoin is scarce, decentralized, and canât be printed. Why hold gold when thereâs a better digital asset?â
đ„ TEAM GOLD:
âA national reserve isnât a degenâs account. A currency needs a layer of stable assetsânot something that can swing by dozens of percentage points.â
đ The pragmatic camp:
âWhy do we have to choose one? Keep USD + gold + BTC + other assetsâeach one does a different job.â
Personally, I lean toward the third camp.
