POTUS tweeted out his dislike for Bitcoin, since it is not money & whose values are based on thin air. He wants money that has intrinsic value (only silver & gold are money and the Constitution states that the govt can only use silver & gold as money). There is also HR 5404 that was introduced and intends to redefine the dollar as a weight in gold. HR 2559 is the Gold Transparency Reserve Act that would audit the Fed gold holdings and continue to audit every 5 years. Powell mentioned during the Senate testimony that a gold standard would require Congress to change the Fed's mandate from inflation targets and encouraging low unemployment to keeping the dollar stable against gold. The census citizen question (pulled off by the Commerce Dept along with EO and other depts) would allow the administration to correlate our gold holdings to the citizens in the country to help back the dollar correctly. The Fed restructure would be to maintain the gold standard & not mess with markets and the price of money (interest rates). POTUS said in an interview that America was great on the gold standard and even bought the old Fed vaults that originally housed our nation' gold. Taking back Congress in the 2020 elections as the Fed continues to be put in the spotlight is walking us down the path to the gold standard. Congress can pass the bills needed to mandate the Fed to simply maintain the country's gold holdings and dollar peice in gold (if we take it back at the 2020 election) Hence the sound money Fed nominations like Dr. Judy Shelton. Bitcoin as a system would only cause more govt regulation and not allow citizens to transact in not in line with Big Brother's commands. Gold on the other hand can be transacted both via blockchain as a currency or physically if someone does not want to trust the gov't or banks. It allows for economic freedom and puts the power of the nation's money back in the peoples' hands. Capitalism requires sound money to function. Only gold & silver fit this category and require no trust in a 3rd party. Make money great again!
