Donald Trump was the first president to launch a memecoin and the US is on the verge of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. I had to ask president @CyrilRamaphosa if he’ll launch a $RAMAPHOSA coin 🇿🇦😭 Jokes aside, I asked him whether the South African government is considering the merits of a Bitcoin strategic reserve. With the US on the cusp of establishing a BTC stockpile, countries like South Africa may well follow suit if such legislation is passed. Here’s what he had to say outside the World Economic Forum 👇

The World Economic Forum doesn't talk about Bitcoin - so I made sure that we did in 2025. I took the chance to ask if the US will adopt a Bitcoin strategic reserve during the 'Crypto at a Crossroads' session inside this year's WEF conference. Coinbase's Brian Armstrong remains confident we will see a Bitcoin reserve in America. Interestingly, South Africa's Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago made it evident that many still don't understand the underlying value proposition of Bitcoin. Armstrong provided an important response: "Many things have been used as money over the years. I think it's clear at this point that, you know, Bitcoin is a better form of money than gold. It is provably scarce, just like gold, but it's more portable and divisible. So you can actually use it. It was the best performing asset of the last ten years. And so for a store of value, I think it's going to be important for governments to hold this over time. It may not it might start with being 1% of their reserves, but I think over time it'll come to be equal to or greater than gold reserves." @Cointelegraph

@MWEBTweets No thank you. Please can you put me in touch with someone technical on your shared hosting team? There is a well documented (forums.cpanel.net/threads/php-wa…) config issue and its causing our app to crash.
