Trump recently made statements indicating that the US government sold tens of thousands of bitcoins over the past few years, and if they had held onto these assets until now, their value would have soared to the billions of dollars.

This statement captures the core philosophy of the crypto community — for scarce assets like Bitcoin, long-term holding is often the optimal strategy. He stated that from now on, the United States will follow the golden rule already practiced by Bitcoin believers: never sell your Bitcoin.

This stance reflects an acknowledgment of Bitcoin's long-term value and also indicates a reassessment of the strategic importance of digital assets at the policy level. Past selling decisions, in hindsight, indeed left irreplaceable opportunity costs.
