Euro Pacific Funds chief Peter Schiff asserted on Sunday that Bitcoin is a threat to US national security. He was referring to plans by the incoming Trump administration to hold some BTC in a strategic reserve fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cBitcoin has become a national security threat,\u201d wrote<\/a> Schiff in a post on X Sunday. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing when private citizens voluntarily waste their own money buying Bitcoin,\u201d Schiff said. \u201cBut it crosses the line when they bribe government officials to squander the public\u2019s money buying it. Bitcoin is now public enemy number one.\u201d<\/p>\n The global hedge fund strategist and one-time U.S. Senate candidate from Connecticut was most likely referring to the strategic asset reserve for cryptocurrencies proposed by Donald Trump and key allies in his wing of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n While speaking at the Bitcoin Conference this July and campaigning for reelection to the White House in November, the president-elect said, \u201cIf I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration, the United States of America, to keep 100% of all the bitcoin the U.S. government currently holds or acquires into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor too long our government has violated the cardinal rule that every bitcoiner knows by heart,\u201d Trump told<\/a> conference gatherers in Nashville, Tennessee. \u201cNever sell your bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis has taken it a step further. She has proposed that<\/a> the US government should acquire more Bitcoin to add to a strategic BTC reserve fund. But Peter Schiff opines that Bitcoin is America\u2019s worst enemy.<\/p>\n We can create a brighter future for generations of Americans by diversifying into #Bitcoin<\/a> and being the first developed nation to create a strategic reserve.

Americans today want government to violate other people\u2019s rights, steal their stuff, and give it to them. The home of the free has become the land of the freeloader.<\/p>\n \u2014 Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) July 6, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n\n Ironically, Peter Schiff\u2019s own pinned post on his X profile contains the answer to his challenge to Bitcoin Sunday. In it, he rebukes tax pirates who use the government for wealth redistribution.<\/p>\n Bitcoin has a number of features that make it useful and desirable, but as far as the public sector goes, it provides a shelter for income earners and wealth holders to protect their wealth from government redistribution, and even grow it.<\/p>\n That helps guard national security against these insidious freeloaders who Schiff derides for fleecing Americans\u2019 prosperity from within by misusing government programs.<\/p>\n The post Peter Schiff: Bitcoin Is \u2018National Security Threat\u2019 to The US<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Euro Pacific Funds chief Peter Schiff asserted on Sunday that Bitcoin is a threat to US national security.
