Bitcoin Reserve Debate Continues

The idea of a national Bitcoin reserve has sparked a mix of hope and concern. Supporters, like Suriname’s presidential candidate Maya Parbhoe, argue that Bitcoin could help countries escape the problems of inflation and reckless fiscal policies. 

She believes adopting Bitcoin would bring stability and protect citizens’ wealth, comparing its importance to the internet in the 1990s.

However, critics warn of potential risks. Nic Carter, a Bitcoin expert, said that while Bitcoin works well for smaller countries like El Salvador, it could destabilize the U.S. financial system. 

Others, like former New York Fed President Bill Dudley, worry that funding a Bitcoin reserve could increase national debt or cause inflation.

Meanwhile, Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, raised a key question calling it a “chicken-and-egg” question.

Should Bitcoin adoption happen because the dollar is losing strength, or will adopting Bitcoin trigger the dollar’s decline?
