So, I was chatting with Bo Hines — you know, he’s the big cheese at the President’s Council of Advisors on Digital Assets. Funny job title, right? Anyway, we were in the middle of an intense convo (guess this means “conversation” now), and he starts spilling the beans about this wild plan. Apparently, the Trump folks are all-in on making the U.S. king of Bitcoin. Yeah, like the ultimate Bitcoin overlord.
Oh, and there was this bit where Hines was grinning ear to ear about the early wins of Trump’s second go-around in office. They wrapped up something called Operation Choke Point 2.0 — sounds dramatic, huh? And, get this, they threw the very first White House Crypto Summit. Imagine that. Politicians in suits talking about digital coins.
Hines also let me in on this neat little secret: there’s this Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — SBR for those who dig acronyms. They’ve got these budget-neutral ways to stack up on Bitcoin without freaking out the bean counters. I mean, he kind of said it like Bitcoin’s the new “digital gold” or something. I still think gold’s shinier, though. Just saying.
Oh, and here’s the kicker — tech big shots like David Sacks are apparently jumping on board, and the Treasury folks are getting their fingers in the pie too. Hines is all gung-ho about the U.S. being the leader in Bitcoin — mining, adopting, you name it. Like, regulators were wagging fingers yesterday and now they’re all hugging it out. I don’t get D.C. politics sometimes.
Wait, what was I saying? Oh right, this whole thing was recorded on 4/23/25 over at the fancy Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Sounds posh, right?

Anyway, that’s a wrap from my side. Wonder what’s next on this crypto rollercoaster?
