Bitcoin supporters are hopeful that the upcoming inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump will lead to a surge in Bitcoin's value, as he has expressed support for the cryptocurrency and even proposed a national Bitcoin reserve. The BITCOIN Act of 2024, which suggests the creation of a Bitcoin reserve, has sparked debate among experts, with some seeing it as a solution to a failing fiat monetary system while others warn of potential risks. Independent presidential candidate Maya Parbhoe has also expressed support for a Bitcoin reserve, stating that it would encourage governments to be more fiscally responsible. However, some experts caution that a Bitcoin reserve could pose a threat to the stability of the financial system and the US dollar.
