so any progress in, you know, the US Congress, the branch that controls the money, on funding a US Crypto Reserve? (genuinely asking! it certainly wouldn't surprise me if this craven caucus included it in a budget in deference to dear leader.)

i’d love to read an account (anonymized is fine) of what these approaches are like, how they contact you, what the pitch is.

a thing i find odd about people into (bad, ugly) Mearsheimer-ish "offensive realism", great-power spheres of influence, etc is the presumption that Russia is or would be a great power in such a world, rather than a vassal either of China or Europe, or site of conflict for resources between them.

so obviously a pump. who got to say, and who got to know, which cryptocurrencies Trump would name? i’m sure he named Cardano because Trump is just really into a Haskell foundation and claims of provably correct proof-of-stake. will it end in meaningful purchase, or just the usual dump? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
