One way to look at it: They are going to spend the money anyways. Via inflation, taxations, theft. Arguing they shouldn't spend is pointless. Never going to happen. Arguing they should at least spend some of it on a valuable global asset for the future of the security of the nation seems better than a shitload of $35,000 toilet seats.

I'm not arguing that they shouldn't spend, they can do what they like its their currency to use, and they're not going to stop inflation ever, I'm just asking how they plan to get the Bitcoin? One would be to go compete with the market and mine and secure the network, but why do that its hard, its complex, confiscation and taxation would be a lot easier Buying up with inflation is a possibility, but there's so many programs that will want their piece first I doubt that the 35k toilets still don't happen even with an SBR, I think if they do do it via inflation its just a tacked on expense to everyone using fiat

How about cutting government waste…. Department of government efficiency , shave 2 Trillion off, put it into Bitcoin.

👏 I haven’t heard anyone talk about the unintended consequences of this policy. Every is like NGU yay! 🤔

Maybe mining?

Perhaps. It's also peanuts to them. They could buy saylors stock in 2% of a normal monthly bond auction.

There are some things that can be privatised sure .. but that’s not the point. The point is that 1,000’s of unnecessary pieces of legislation bloat the bureaucracy where the result is net negative. Look at the success Milei is having in Argentina. Admittedly it’s too early to understand the full impact on the outcomes for everyday Argentinians, but early indications look very positive.

I think at-least 50% is waste, atleast. Magnified in the last 5 years where governments printed double the money, govt spending shot up but looking around the world most people’s quality of lives declined. It’s a symptom of our broken money.
