#BTCReserveStrategy Should governments buy Bitcoin?
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong urges governments to consider Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. The idea of nations adopting it as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation is fascinating but raises significant questions.
What percentage of reserves should be allocated to BTC? A conservative approach of 1 to 5% would allow nations to experiment with this asset without exposing themselves to its high volatility. For countries with unstable economies, a higher percentage could be a bold but risky diversification strategy.
Volatility is the main challenge. Therefore, any government that decides to adopt Bitcoin should implement safeguards. Secure custody with multisig systems, a clear regulatory framework, and a long-term investment strategy are crucial to mitigate risks.
The conversation is no longer "if", but "how" governments will manage the era of cryptocurrencies.
