I’ve repeatedly said it. Trump is trying to control ($BTC )Bitcoin. His approach isn’t through outright bans or regulations alone, but something far more strategic; the creation of a Bitcoin reserve. Much like oil reserves are used to control energy markets, this reserve would allow the government to manipulate Bitcoin's supply in the open market, buying when prices fall and selling when they rise, in an attempt to suppress volatility or more importantly, to prevent Bitcoin from ever overtaking the U.S. dollar in value. This isn’t just economic policy—it’s political symbolism. Trump and others who view the dollar as a pillar of American supremacy see Bitcoin’s rise as a threat. But here’s the problem: Bitcoin was built to be decentralized. It doesn't care about borders, governments, or political ambitions. It runs on math, code, and consensus. No matter how large the reserve, or how many policies are thrown at it, no one can truly control the decentralized nature of this new financial system. History shows us that when innovation clashes with control, innovation often wins. From Napster to blockchain, decentralization continues to disrupt centralized power structures. Even if Trump tries to play with Bitcoin's price, the global, peer-to-peer network will adapt routing around interference just like the internet did decades ago. And in doing so, Bitcoin continues to grow not just as an asset, but as a movement.
