I appreciate the vision of the president of the cryptocurrencies, Donald Trump, of a government reserve of digital assets representative of the industry. Maximalism is the enemy of industry progress. I’m glad to see that the president acknowledges that we live in a world of multiple chains.

Batten concludes that the industry will achieve its objectives if working together. And although many of the commentators rejected the idea, others supported the proposal. They think that chiptomoneds chosen They have unique characteristics in key areas that will favor the reservation.
