"If Trump chooses Bitcoin for the US Strategic Reserve, he has to PAY for it, thereby increasing the $34 trillion federal debt. But if he takes all of the XRP in escrow (the SEC has them over a barrel), then he gets it for FREE. And as the value of XRP increases from $3 to $500-1000, the entire US Federal debt will be cancelled, with plenty of money left for other initiatives. He is cunning like a fox! "

This sounds like satire, but they're serious. Jeje.

Ultimately it doesn't matter (to bitcoin) if US buys or doesn't buy (or waits very long time to buy) bitcoin.

It will however matter very very much to the US federal government access to credit.
