Don't remind me again today

Washington has received significant news: a proposal named the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act" has been officially submitted to the U.S. Congress. The core content of this bill is quite bold—



First, it allows citizens to pay federal taxes directly with Bitcoin. Even more exciting is the second point: when paying taxes with BTC, the appreciation portion can be exempt from capital gains tax.

Sounds a bit convoluted? To put it another way: the Bitcoin in your hands, no matter how many times it has increased in value, as long as you pay taxes on it, you won't have to pay tax on that portion of the profit again. The BTC collected by the Ministry of Finance may be incorporated into the national strategic reserves, just like gold and foreign exchange.

If this matter is successful, the impact will be considerable. In the short term, it will be equivalent to labeling Bitcoin as a "quasi-official payment tool," and market confidence will certainly soar. In the long run, this suggests that the traditional financial system is actively opening its doors to the crypto world—if the United States takes this step, will other countries follow suit? A national-level competition for digital currencies may really be on the way.

Mainstream coins like ETH and SOL will also be boosted. After all, when the policy direction changes, the narrative logic of the entire crypto market will be rewritten.

Of course, the bill still has to pass through Congress, and political maneuvering is inevitable. But the signal is already very clear: cryptocurrencies are transitioning from speculative targets to national strategic assets.

Do you think this bill can pass? If it is really implemented, will it be a benefit to the market or does it hide risks?

It can't really happen... Those old guys in the U.S. won't be so straightforward --- Wait, is the tax exemption part real or not? Feels like there's a trap --- Can't pass, the politicians are just fooling us again --- If it really happens, it would explode, but I'll bet five bucks it dies in committee --- Alright everyone, get ready to watch the performance of the congressmen --- Hmm... this bill seems to pave the way for institutions to buy the dip? --- I wouldn't believe that Washington would let us be this comfortable --- Knowing the nature of Americans, it will definitely end up changed beyond recognition --- BTC as an official tool? Laughable, they need to resolve the conflict between the SEC and the Treasury first --- Forget it, just watch the show, it won't do me any good anyway

To be honest, I've seen this route too many times. The policy signals are beautiful, but the implementation is full of pitfalls—just look at those "world-changing" clauses, how many truly survive? The key issue is the tax exemption; I must point out a logical flaw: the IRS would never be so kind. Paying taxes with BTC exempt from Capital Gains Tax is equivalent to encouraging Large Investors to use unrealized gains to offset taxes. In practice, there will inevitably be permission control issues—who will audit whether this transaction is really used for tax payments? This is a breeding ground for standard reentrancy vulnerabilities. Let's see if Congress can pass it first; I usually remain restrained towards such paper policies.

Really? Tax-free? I need to think about this logic... Wait, is the Ministry of Finance really going to stockpile BTC? --- Another "if it happens" story, would Congress agree? I'm a bit skeptical. --- Damn, if this really goes through, I’ll just convert all my gains to BTC to pay taxes, a perfect tax evasion plan. --- Feels like this proposal is just a political show, can it really be executed? Hehe. --- Regardless of whether it passes, this signal is enough to pull the market, buying now might be a bit early. --- So the question is, can ordinary people really enjoy this benefit? Or is it just another scheme by institutions? --- ETH doesn't necessarily follow the trend, BTC is BTC, don’t think all coins are the same. --- This is the real adoption, much more practical than what El Salvador is doing. --- Interesting, the government wants to stockpile BTC, is this foreshadowing future policies? --- Whether it passes Congress is debatable, but it shows that the U.S. attitude is changing... are other countries panicking?

Exempting Capital Gains Tax is quite intense, it feels like the U.S. is starting to take this seriously.
