In a recent post on the X platform, a top crypto influencer&nbsp;Zerohedge&nbsp;suggested&nbsp;that if elected, <a href="https://coingape.com/donald-trump-vows-to-never-allow-cbdc-reduce-life-sentence-of-silk-road-founder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> should announce the purchase of 2 million Bitcoin and 10 million Ethereum for a strategic U.S. crypto reserve. However, VanEck advisor Gabor Gurbacs, a prominent figure in the crypto space, expressed his support for Bitcoin, implying that it makes more sense as a strategic reserve asset. 
Meanwhile, the discussion around choosing <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> over Ethereum, especially with the VanEck advisor’s comment, has attracted attention, with several users expressing disappointment over the preference for Ethereum. Notably, the discussion over Bitcoin Vs. Ethereum has been fueled since last week after the U.S. SEC gave a regulatory nod for the <a href="https://coingape.com/us-sec-approves-8-spot-ethereum-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spot Ethereum ETF</a>. 
However, further intensifying the debate, another user questioned why not consider Dogecoin instead of Ethereum. Amid VanEck advisor’s&nbsp;comment, highlights the diverse opinions within the crypto community regarding suitable reserve assets for the U.S. Also, it reflects the growing popularity of the leading dog-themed meme coin in the crypto community, given the recent buzz in the <a href="https://coingape.com/meme-coin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meme coin</a> sector.

The conversation over the U.S. strategy crypto reserve and VanEck advisor’s comment comes&nbsp;at a time&nbsp;when the <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-us-presidential-candidate-donald-trump-vows-to-support-crypto-companies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former U.S. president</a> has shown openness towards cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;Trump recently indicated plans to support crypto companies, acknowledging the&nbsp;growing importance of the industry. 
In a social media post, Trump emphasized his administration’s commitment to backing the crypto sector, recognizing it as a “new and burgeoning industry.” Notably, his proactive stance towards crypto, including accepting <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-pro-crypto-donald-trump-opens-campaign-for-bitcoin-and-crypto-donations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin donations</a> for his campaign and launching NFTs, contrasts with the perceived regulatory uncertainty under the current administration.
