Trump announces strategic crypto reserve including bitcoin, Solana, XRP and more

This is, I think, an important mechanism for someone to loot the US treasury.

Plenty of other people will be able to loot it also. It might not even be intentional on Trump's part. But it's a standard pattern: A massive transfer of capital into some dubious venture, followed by a mysterious implosion of the value of the dubious venture, leaving the people who were paid mountains of capital in exchange for the dubious venture-stuff smiling broadly at the mysterious outcome, saying "Them's the breaks. Risky investment and all."

Crypto has the added benefit of being a lot less traceable and somewhat less undo-able after the fact.
