The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) editorial board wrote that former President Donald Trump reportedly plans to make bitcoin a strategic reserve asset, but this does not match the value of cryptocurrencies. WSJ wrote that Trump said at a Bitcoin conference held in Nashville last week that Bitcoin represents freedom and independence from governments, but this view is inconsistent with his use of Bitcoin after being elected in November. The column pointed out: "What he proposed was not freedom from governments, he wants all future Bitcoins to be made in the USA. This is a limitation on freedom and requires a larger power grid because Bitcoin mining requires a lot of energy." The column said that if Trump does take office in January next year, he will develop a "rough plan" to turn Senator Cynthia Lummis' bill into reality, which resonates with the billionaire's slogan of "Make America Great Again" and is also in conflict with the majority of positions represented by cryptocurrencies.
