And we should question all incumbent and intending elective office holders over, "Why not?" Push them.
Buy a home with Bitcoin, pay taxes, get a bank to write mortgages in Bitcoin, it is all possible.
Would Warren Buffet then corner the Bitcoin market? Would it not be good to have Russian and Chinese leaders repurpose their hacking to accumulate Bitcoin?
Were I a Bitcoin genius, with a massive Bitcoin fiat money holding, unlike others but like shady oligarchs of old Europe, I'd want to convert pronto to prime worldwide real estate. Others might feel otherwise, given how the Fed and other central banks cannot even well handle nation-backed currencies (or is there intention behind that machinery making order look like chaos but always favoring the already rich).
This kind of post originates when the first item read online with morning coffee is this. Queued up, this. First of those items linking here.
With fiat money and futures contracts big in finance and central banking, why not Bitcoin? Arguably, it is no less ephemeral than paper stock saying "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." No gold backing. Just, "Trust me." Making Bitcoin legal tender would at least rock some boats, and if it became an election issue things would be less tedious and boring than Stormy Daniels lawyer allegedly being "news" and not as boring as Pete Hegseth being now sued over the ax stupidity where a grown man should have known better.
One sure thing, if Bitcoin could be used to finance abortions, Abigail Whelan, Peggy Scott, and their minions of deplorables would be all over it, issue-wise. Biasing the market.
Poke the pinata. Advocate: BITCOIN = LEGAL TENDER
Or does dollar hegemony ring your bell as much as it does the U.S. of A. State and Defense Departments? Would they go to war over Bitcoin?
Once thinking outside of the box, go full bore. Tim Pawlenty, once defeated on election day, could move into founding a "Bitcoin Roundtable" group where he could have an obscenely high management salary, in Bitcoin. Give the man something to do as top dog Bitcoin lobbyist. Ideally, based for that outside of Minnesota. Since Iceland with its cheap and plentiful electricity has become an international Bitcoin mining hub, Iceland would be a fine place for Pawlenty. As fine as any I can imagine.
