Politicians are enemies of the people. It's actually good that they are scared. They really should be scared of the gallows, if you ask me. I get your point about the pain it will cause us because our economy will be flooded with USD that isn't used elsewhere. I was aware of and worrying about that point back when Satoshi Nakamoto wasn't anyone's nym yet. Bitcoin SOLVED that problem, completely, the only way it can be solved, and it works for every last human on earth as long as they choose to opt in. How long should we have to wait for them to opt in before we don't feel sorry about this kind of thing any longer? It's been since 2011 for me, I really can't care too much for anyone still calling bitcoin a scam in 2026.
