Why the US Might Just Save Bitcoin-Or Not, Who Knows? 😜

by

In the strange and confusing village we call America, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent decided to play a little game of hide and seek with his words. One day he’s saying the U.S. might toss some more dollars into Bitcoin’s pot, and the next, he’s acting like he’d rather eat nails. It’s like watching a cat chase its tail-funny, a little dizzying, and never really settling down. 🐱💸

Folks in the crypto crowd blinked, wondering if Bessent’s speech was a kind of political slapstick, or just him being him-baffling, unpredictable, and famous for walking the line like a tightrope walker with no safety net. Someone even quipped, “You’re all over the place dude,” which perfectly sums up the mood-cryptocurrency fans spinning faster than a roulette wheel at the county fair. 🎡

More BTC? Maybe, but don’t hold your breath (or do-it’s good for the suspense)

As U.Today throws its hat into the ring, they say Bessent’s last word was that Uncle Sam isn’t about to go on a Bitcoin shopping spree-yet. Nope, he’s said the government isn’t planning to buy more coins beyond what they’ve already swiped, the ones they’ve got stashed away for a rainy day, or maybe just because they like shiny things.

This was during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox-think of it as a political soap opera, but with more dollar signs and less drama. After the smoke cleared, many speculators felt like they’d been told to sit down, stop dreaming of bags of Bitcoin, and just wait for the next episode.

But-surprise!-Bessent then took to X (the social media playground where everyone’s a philosopher), insisting that the Treasury’s still dreaming of “budget-neutral” ways to grab more coins. Because, why not? It’s like telling someone you’re not going to buy a yacht, then secretly dreaming about that yacht while drinking a seltzer on your balcony. 🌊

And if you’re thinking, “Isn’t this all just talk?”-you’re not alone. Bloomberg once bored everyone to tears with a forecast that there’s a 30% shot Uncle Sam might buy Bitcoin this year, more than enough to make a few accountants sweat. The cash might come from the Exchange Stabilization Fund-because who doesn’t love a good acronym that sounds like a secret society?

Bitcoin’s rollercoaster: fun for the brave and the crazy

As we speak, Bitcoin is chilling at $118,156, after bouncing around like a kid on a sugar high. Just earlier this Thursday, it dipped to $117,201 but then shot up to a dizzying $124,517 on Bitstamp-proof that the crypto market loves to keep everyone on their toes, or throwing their hands up in frustration.

Michael Saylor, the big boss at Strategy, has already shrugged off the recent nosedive. His take? “Volatility is the gift to the faithful.” He probably means the kind of gift that keeps you guessing whether it’s a present or a box of rocks, but hey, who’s counting? 🎁🤷‍♂️
