As he talked about both crypto and bitcoin in terms of the Irish Reserve, many of the comments below his original post encouraged him and his country to focus only on the biggest digital assets.

Anthony Pompliano was among the first to select McGregor's call for a Bitcoin strategic reserve in Ireland and, expected, praised The move.

The notion of countries that adopted the BTC as a strategic reserve has been talked about for years within the community. However, it has been a distant dream until recently.

The idea is that Bitcoin has similar properties such as gold, and the yellow metal used to back up many fiat currencies and still held through many central banks. So, why not BTC, right?

Well, critics have argued in recent years that Bitcoin is too young and a change of mind and has not been matured to be in a responsible position. However, after the US election, water increases.

Current United States president Donald Trump has been dating the idea of ​​establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the country, and many discussions about the object in different countries. Although it still feels early, as most are – discussions or flawless declines – it can be considered as a move in the right direction. It needs to start from a place, right?
