Arthur Hayes: The US Will Not Buy BTC Due to the "Bitcoin Bros" Image
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes believes it is unlikely that the US will start actively purchasing BTC for its strategic reserve.
According to him, the public initiative to print dollars to buy BTC does not align well with the widespread stereotype of "Bitcoin bros" — young speculators and crypto enthusiasts, associated with parties and nightlife.
He reminded that the US already owns ~198,000 BTC, mainly obtained through confiscations. Hayes also doubts the willingness of politicians to publicly voice such initiatives.
