DOdGEy Group and Strategic Reserve/Stockpile

[RockLobster]

[I posted this in another thread earlier, but that dull thread will likely be short-lived. Thought I'd bring it to a new thread.]

IMO, the DOdGEy group should go after the crypto. Talk about a lack of "Efficiency."

The some 17 billion the federal government has acquired in bitcoin from bad guys should be sold to pay down the US deficit. (Which is 100% the point of the group, at least that's what we're being told.)

There is zero reason to hold ~$17 billion in volatile digital currency if we can put it to good use now.

Imagine how many federal employees that would need to be fired to make that much of a dent in the deficit!

This isn't political point as much as it is a simple financial one.

Holding ~$17 billion in volatile funds while making giant payments on trillions of debt with interest makes no fiscal sense.

Unless, of course, the idea is to hold the bitcoin and from time to time make moves purposely to drive the bitcoin value up (which Musk has done before, and Trump just did recently) thereby using the bitcoin as an investment instrument to grow it to pay off even more of the debt at some future date.

That does sound like a Musk strategy...
