Then why did you leave off the clear reason that easily refutes the misconception? Were you just depending on the status signals to carry your refutation?

- abakker 4y agothe government backs its currency by having _different rights_ than private companies. E.g. the ability to levy taxes and field an army. We the citizens have given them those rights specifically so that they are the highest authority. This is why a currency that derives from them is better than a currency that derives from anonymous scammers on the internet.
