Bitcoin is leading a bloodless revolution against the financial and state oligarchs. War is devastating to the environment, we should be thankful that Bitcoin is making the world a more equitable place in a relatively eco friendly way (and definitely more humanitarian).
The alternative to Bitcoin isn't Visa, it's bombs and guillotines. We all have a vested interest in seeing Bitcoin succeed.

- rootusrootus 6y agoUntil you can get the IRS to accept Bitcoin, your plan is dead in the water. I also would like to know what specifically makes Bitcoin the answer, and not some other cryptocurrency.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoThe IRS not collecting Bitcoin is a feature, not a bug. The IRS/USD/US military are all one and the same. Bitcoin is politically and socially "cleaner" than USD and other state backed currency because it's not dependent on military oppression. Bitcoin is definitely not the only important crypto. Ethereum, Doge, zCash... all have different roles to play in the ecosystem.
- rootusrootus 6y agoYou seem to be under the impression that you can work around the IRS. This may be true to a limited extent if you live outside the U.S.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoThat's why I mentioned zCash. It's a better choice for this. That being said, Bitcoin can exist without the IRS. USD cannot.
