If countries are accumulating Bitcoin, shouldn't they also secure their investment
With more countries and even individual U.S. states now exploring or actively accumulating Bitcoin reserves, it raises a bigger strategic question: If these governments are viewing BTC as a serious asset, wouldn’t it also be in their interest to protect and support their investment? This goes beyond just holding coins. Shouldn’t they be incentivized to run nodes, invest in mining infrastructure, and more critically, fund the open-source developers who maintain Bitcoin Core? If future updates are needed—especially things like quantum resistance or improved scalability—it only makes sense that those with the most skin in the game would want to ensure the protocol’s long-term security and evolution. submitted by /u/GodBlessYouNow [link] [comments]
