US Crypto Reserve: A Choice Between Bitcoin and Altcoins

The CEO of CryptoQuant advocates for a US strategic reserve consisting solely of Bitcoin, criticizing the idea of including altcoins.

Statements from CryptoQuant CEO

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has shared his views on proposals for creating a US strategic reserve, limited to Bitcoin. In a recent post, he urged the US government to focus exclusively on BTC, avoiding the inclusion of altcoins. Ju highlighted that discussions suggest the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump is considering adding XRP to the federal reserve, which he termed as overreach.

I'm not a Bitcoin maxi, but the U.S. strategic shitcoin reserve has gone too far. Just Bitcoin, please.Ki Young Ju

Bitcoin vs. Altcoins: Which to Choose?

Ju has been a consistent critic of altcoins, particularly memecoins, labeling them harmful to the crypto industry. He argues that altcoins lack the stability and universal appeal of Bitcoin, rendering them unsuitable for a government reserve. Ju believes that a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is more feasible and beneficial for offsetting US debt compared to traditional assets like gold.

Altcoin markets are currently a zero-sum PvP game. Only a few alts with strong use cases and narratives will survive.Ki Young Ju

Federal Reserve and Congress Opposition

However, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the central bank is not allowed to own Bitcoin, and the matter should be up to Congress. This view is supported by former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who described the idea of a national Bitcoin reserve as crazy and politically motivated, potentially catering to special-interest groups within Trump's campaign.

Some of what is being said—that we should have some kind of national Bitcoin reserve, is crazy. There’s no reason to do that other than to pander to generous special-interest campaign contributors.Larry Summers

The discussion on the creation of a US crypto reserve is gaining significance, but expert opinions are divided. Some believe a Bitcoin-based reserve could help resolve national debt, while others criticize the idea due to Bitcoin's lack of global currency recognition and potential narrow political interests.
