On August 5th, CZ stated in an interview: "The world's largest economy is building up a crypto reserve. This means that for any country that is not currently doing so, when they do, they will be at a very disadvantageous position because the wealthiest countries have already bought Bitcoin in large quantities, so the next country to buy them will only be able to buy at a higher price, so they will only be able to buy fewer things with less money. I believe we will see a competition among countries adopting Bitcoin and mainstream cryptocurrencies."
