Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says they’re joining Trump Accounts, matching the $1,000 federal seed for every eligible child of Coinbase employees. And he wants to pay that match in Bitcoin, not fiat or stocks. Trump Accounts kick in for U.S. babies born 2025 through 2028, $1k auto-deposited into tax-advantaged accounts invested in low-fee index funds, locked till 18 for education, home or startup cash. Employers, family, charities can pile on. Coinbase follows BofA and JPMorgan in matching, but Bitcoin twist makes it real money education from day one. Normalises BTC as the superior long-term store of value for kids. Generational adoption incoming. image

I think it’ll slowly approach the equivalent of the US national debt currently about $30,000,000,000,000 so by 2040 it’s estimated to be $50,000,000,000,000 to $60,000,000,000,000. Let’s say those estimates are low. It’s 75 trillion and BTC reaches 75% of US national debt So that would be 56,000,000,000,000÷21,000,000 coins =- $2.678 million/coin Assuming it doesn’t turn into rat, poison, and kill the rat in which case all bets are off and it becomes a global reserve currency
