Analysis: US crypto policy leans towards bitcoin maximalism, David Sacks and the Trump family may have potential differences

Goodalexander, a financial analyst firm, published an analysis of the position of White House cryptocurrency and AI director David Sacks on US crypto policy: David Sacks's recent series of interviews shows that the Trump administration's crypto policy may disappoint the market, because its stance is more towards bitcoin maximalism, failing to provide a clear path for the United States to become a unique "crypto capital", but at least preventing the prosecution and debanking of the industry. Sacks compares the US's Bitcoin strategic reserve to a "digital fortress," similar to the role of gold reserves, the analysis notes. He highlights Bitcoin's uniqueness, including Satoshi Nakamoto's "perfect creation," fixed supply, decentralization, and "a decade-long $2 trillion bug bounty," as a store of value rather than a "digital cash" or "Internet of Value." Notably, Sacks stated that Trump's ADA, XRP, and SOL tweets were "not special" and only "top five cryptocurrencies", which clearly conflicts with Eric Trump's amplified interpretation of his father's tweets. The analysis suggests that there may be potential differences between Sacks and members of the Trump family, who are heavily invested in the crypto industry.
