The big dogs in crypto really missed an opportunity here, and maybe there’s still time to fix it.
Regardless of your politics, Trump Accounts are a brilliant idea. Give every kid a slice of the S&P 500, let it compound for a decade, and you’ve instantly created a generation that participates in America’s expansion instead of watching it from the sidelines.
Stocks rise with inflation. Inflation never stops rising. So yes, this is a genius wealth machine for the next generation.
But here’s the part that blows my mind
How did the crypto heavyweights
@saylor ,
@cz_binance ,
@brian_armstrong,
@justinsuntron,
@tyler,
@caneron, or 1st family Crypto supporters
@EricTrump,
@DonaldJTrumpJr not get in the room w/
@realDonaldTrump and say…
“Great start… let’s also give every kid some
#Bitcoin too.”
Think about it.
Kids under 10 get equity exposure for 10 years. That alone is smart.
Bitcoin is literally designed for long-term holding. You give a child a bag of Sats today, lock it away until adulthood, and you’ve just created:
A savings habit, A built-in financial education, A generation of instant crypto adopters, A national Bitcoin seed vault
And the community could have funded it. Industry titans would’ve gladly donated millions. The administration would’ve embraced it, it costs the government nothing and secures votes future innovation.
It should’ve been the easiest win in political and financial history:
Stocks and Sats. TradFi and Crypto. The old engine and the new one… together.
But somehow… nobody made the call or simply didn’t push it hard enough.
There’s still time. Get in the man’s ear and finish the idea
If every American child deserves a share of the future, give them a piece of the hardest asset ever created, and let it sit untouched until they’re grown.
At the moment, it feels like a tremendous missed opportunity.
