A federal bitcoin reserve. What a colossally stupid idea. I mean it would be great for people with lots of cryptocurrency. But it's basically an invitation to embroil money backed by taxpayers in all kinds of new scams. Also, there is probably not crypto out there to do this that isn't already tainted with some crime.
We have a national stockpile of crypto; also known the billions we've already seized from crypto scammers.
