Do you really think BRICS is interested in adding a meme coin to their reserves, or one controlled by an American CEO? Do you believe they’d choose a USD stablecoin issued by an American company trying to position itself as a neo-Federal Reserve Bank?
Or are they far more likely to adopt the coin that has been relentlessly vilified and condemned by the U.S. for over 15 years precisely because it operates beyond U.S. control? The coin that guarantees sovereign access to block space, ensuring transactions cannot be censored or denied, provided they continue to possess the physical power and infrastructure *they've already invested in.*
What many on my news feed fail to grasp is that we are not the only ones who get a vote. The question of “What should be in America’s crypto reserve?” isn’t about what Americans want. The next global reserve asset, by definition, will be the one chosen by other nations—particularly our global competitors. And BRICS will almost certainly favor the asset that offers the greatest independence from U.S. influence—the one that is demonstrably censorship-resistant, provably decentralized, and sovereign. The one that wasn’t premined. The one that isn’t being shilled by cringey, wannabe American influencers. The one the U.S. barely owns, thanks to its own hubris and shortsightedness on this issue.
Our personal preferences are the least important factor in choosing the right assets for our national stockpile, and this is a matter of national strategic importance. The only question that truly matters is this: What assets are *other* countries—especially our adversaries—most likely to choose?
If you cannot confidently say that nations like China or Russia will add massive amounts of your favored crypto asset to *their* strategic reserves, then you are being insincere—and you’re undermining the future security and prosperity of this nation.
Knock it off.
