If the United States adopts a Bitcoin strategic reserve, will other nations do the same?
I asked South African president Cyril Ramaphosa this very question during the World Economic Forum in Davos last week.
Unlike Trump, Ramaphosa has no plans to launch a memecoin.
Perhaps more importantly, he says that Bitcoin is becoming a subject that nation states can no longer ignore.
I’d personally love to see my home country 🇿🇦 adopt a Bitcoin standard. It would be a game changer for the value of the Rand and for SA’s treasury reserve.
