Bitcoin and Crypto Talk (Merged)(includes NFT)

So will we ban the US dollar if utilized to fund terrorism or drug deals? It's a weak argument and Yellen has made grumblings of this already. I agree that it is a risk. However, not sure they can stop the train and the price may go even higher if they tried to make it illegal. Due to the decentralization and number of locations they could make it illegal, but it would not stop the technology. Tesla is invested in it and the U.S. will want a slice of the pie. Too much money in the technologies to ignore it. If we don't capitalize, China will.

Wonder if that wine is laced with lead?

Terrorism, crime, or as Bill Gates has been hinting at, global warming, would just be their reasons to make it illegal. The dollar is controlled by government. They don't want a competitor. They want it to remain the world reserve currency. I could see the government forcing a crypto currency they control and fully track but they for sure would want a mechanism to do QE and print more. If they were to make Bitcoin illegal, I'm sure they would let the connected folks know so they can dump it before they did.
