Trump recently made a statement, pointing out that the US government sold tens of thousands of bitcoins over the past few years. If they had held onto these assets until now, their value would have soared to billions of dollars.

This statement captures the core philosophy of the crypto community — for scarce assets like Bitcoin, long-term holding is often the best 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 behind incalculable opportunity costs.

Damn, the US government’s clumsy move... If I had known earlier, I would have hodled until now, and billions of dollars are just gone like that.

Now the US government has also started to believe in Bitcoin, how funny... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sold it. Tens of thousands of coins? How much is that worth? If it were me, I would also regret it to death. The policy level has finally awakened, but the cost is too heavy. Holding is the real king, everyone. This wave by the US government has given us the best negative lesson. Now saying never sell, then why sell before... it's just funny. This move by the US government can be considered the greatest affirmation for HODLers. Billions of dollars in opportunity cost, truly a blood loss. This is what you call hindsight, why didn't you do it earlier? Politicians always regret, but retail investors must learn to坚持. (Note: "坚持" means "persist" or "hold on," but since the instruction is to translate content, it can be translated as "stick to it" or "persevere.") The US official attitude has changed, is this a genuine positive outlook or are they playing tricks again?

Oh my, this operation is truly outrageous, billions of dollars just gone like that? --- Should have never sold in the first place, I regret it now --- Wait, is the government starting to HODL now? How desperate must they be --- Sounds good, but who will execute it? Probably just another empty promise --- So the truth that small investors like us have long understood, they are only now realizing? --- If this could really be implemented, how high would the coin price soar... Just thinking about it is exciting --- Never sell... but what about liquidity? Someone has to take the other side of the trade --- It's the same old rhetoric, let's see how it plays out when they actually start executing --- Come on, believing half of what politicians say is already good enough --- That said, the institutional entry signals are very clear
