๐บ๐ธ Americans Choose Bitcoin Over Gold! Crypto Becomes the New Safe Haven? ๐
A groundbreaking new poll reveals a major shift in American sentiment: 4 out of 5 Americans believe the U.S. should diversify its national assets by converting a portion of its gold holdings into #Bitcoin!
Key Insights from The Nakamoto Project Poll (3,345 respondents):
* 80% Support BTC Conversion: A vast majority of Americans want the U.S. to swap some gold for Bitcoin.
* Median Suggestion: 10%: Most respondents proposed converting between 1% and 30% of gold reserves, with the median at a significant 10%.
* Demographic Alignment: The online poll, conducted from February to mid-March, matched U.S. Census demographics (age, gender, race, income, education, area), suggesting broad representation. Younger individuals showed a higher preference for larger Bitcoin allocations, consistent with previous research.
* Declining Gold Apathy: Co-founder Dennis Porter notes this poll highlights a growing American preference for diversified investing and increasing indifference towards gold.
Current U.S. Holdings:
* The U.S. holds over 8,133 tons of gold, valued at more than $830 billion.
* Its current #Bitcoin holdings are roughly 207,189 BTC, which is just under 3% of the value of its gold reserves. This shows significant room for diversification.
With proposals like White House advisor Bo Hines's plan to potentially acquire up to 1 million BTC using gold reserve income, and support from figures like Senator Lummis and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the move towards a Bitcoin-backed national reserve is gaining serious traction.
