"Only proof-of-work assets like Bitcoin & Litecoin should be considered—PoS assets are vulnerable to foreign influence." - Samson Mow
Bitcoin as the Ultimate US Reserve Asset? Coinbase & Gemini CEOs Weigh In The conversation around crypto as a strategic US reserve asset is heating up and Bitcoin is at the center of it all. After President Trump’s announcement of a Crypto Strategic Reserve (which could include BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP), industry leaders are making their stance clear: Bitcoin stands alone as the true successor to gold. Tyler Winklevoss (Gemini): "Only one digital asset in the world right now meets the bar, and that digital asset is Bitcoin." Brian Armstrong (Coinbase): "Just Bitcoin would probably be the best option—it’s the simplest and a clear successor to gold." Cameron Winklevoss: "Maybe Ethereum. Digital gold and digital oil. Which mirrors America’s reserves of gold and oil." Meanwhile, Samson Mow (JAN3) argues that only proof-of-work assets like Bitcoin & Litecoin should be considered, as proof-of-stake assets could be compromised by foreign actors. Not everyone agrees. Cardano Foundation’s Charles Hoskinson and Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse are defending their tokens’ inclusion, highlighting strong communities, technology, and resilience. What’s next? The first-ever White House Crypto Summit happens March 7, where industry leaders will discuss this potential reserve, stablecoin oversight, and regulatory policies. Do you think the US should go Bitcoin-only, or should a diversified crypto reserve be the future?
