    You are regurgitatating what the government wanted you to say without even reading what I said. I don’t want it to be crypto. I want it to not be owned by local governments. You’ve been taught to say all of that, and none of it is required. If a currency is accepted by people because they know they can use it, a local government has no say. If 340 million Americans started accepting penguin print as currency tomorrow, the government would try to ban it, call it only used for buying drugs, not actually backed by anything, doesn’t really exist, and everything you have heard about crypto… Because it takes power away from the government. But in reality they couldn’t do anything but accept that penguin print is a currency, because you can trade it for goods and services. And if 200 nations across the world do it… Then if a local government fails, the amount a chicken costs on penguin print, doesn’t fluctuate much
