CoinVoice has learned that the publicly traded Bitcoin mining company MARA stated that controlling key resources such as Bitcoin's block space and hash rate (the pillars of the network) could have profound implications for America's financial sovereignty and its ability to maintain global influence in the digital age. It calls for the U.S. government to take decisive action to address the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by Bitcoin, while implementing the following strategic measures:
1. Create a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve. The U.S. should acquire Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. By holding Bitcoin, similar to the way the U.S. holds gold, America will ensure its ability to transact when global confidence in the dollar diminishes;
2. Invest in domestic Bitcoin mining. The U.S. should prioritize expanding its domestic Bitcoin mining operations to increase its share in global computing power. By controlling a larger portion of the global computing power, the U.S. can ensure secure access to block space and protect its economic sovereignty;
3. Develop mining technology to promote self-sufficiency. Encourage the domestic production of mining hardware (ASIC chips) in the United States to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers. This will ensure that the U.S. does not rely on critical infrastructure from hostile nations, thereby enhancing technological self-sufficiency and strengthening national security;
4. Implement supportive policies and regulations. Develop clear and comprehensive regulations to provide legal clarity for Bitcoin miners and investors. Providing incentives, such as tax breaks for incorporating renewable energy into mining operations, will further stimulate industry growth, technological advancement, and job creation;
5. Lead the global Bitcoin standard. The U.S. should take a leading role in establishing global standards for decentralized networks. By collaborating with allies and ensuring that Bitcoin remains a neutral, open, and secure platform, the U.S. can promote the stability of global financial transactions and prevent the centralization of computing power by hostile nations;
6. Protect national security through computing power control. As competition in Bitcoin mining intensifies, controlling a significant amount of domestic computing power will protect the U.S. from foreign interference. Ensuring a strong share of global computing power can prevent hostile nations from censoring or delaying U.S. transactions, which could have severe economic impacts. [Original link]
