Excellent discussion gentlemen... as The Corbett Report is saying: With a never-ending stream of taxpayer money and no competition in sight, governments are a breeding ground for stupid ideas. In fact, coming up with a list of all the idiocy that governments have inflicted on the world would be an impossible task, so let's just narrow it down to five really stupid government ideas.

In the countries I have been I see it time and again that small merchants don't trust what is being concocted from higher up.
*** So it proofs my thesis that a top-down adoption - a Government State Bitcoin Economy will not work... or at least not if there is not enough of a bottom-up adoption drive...***
I keep begging the influencers to concentrate on orange pilling the small merchants. As soon as they have the knowledge and understanding of a bitcoin economy, the domino effect can take place. See Western African States how successful they are even stopping CBDC's getting a footing.
We can only learn from each other and from the excellent ideas that are openly discussed in groups like these.
