Why would the US Gov want people to pay their taxes in BTC instead of USD?

If it's a small project, usually I'll just leave my notes in the readme, or I'll litter TODO comments in the code. If it's a work project I'll usually put those notes in the Jira or Trello ticket

the expression confused me when I first heard it to. I think it should change to “free as in peanuts” or “free as in stickers” or something. It’s rare that you’ll find free beer
