Bitcoin are somewhat analogous to tulips at the height of the Dutch Tulip Mania - they're speculative assets given value by the madness of crowds. S.4912 would require the USG to trade dollars for bitcoin that billionaire techbros own (b/c they, or their pals, created bitcoin, out of thin air)...

This is class warfare. Trump is proposing taking federal research funds from Harvard to fund trade schools. We do need to support legitimate trade schools. And we need the high quality research of R1 research universities like Harvard. Trump is manipulating resentment of elitism here.
