For sure. So it sounds like as a store of value it’s good for the country as an entity (in fiat thinking). I was specifically asking about that. I totally agree with you on wanting bitcoin to be used as MoE. Although I think at that point it will be because very few people will be holding on to fiat in the future when they experience dollar devaluation. Even the gov will eventually have to move. Maybe I’m optimistic. Right now, us using it as a MoE helps create an environment for the infrastructure (Lightning, spark, arc, ecash etc) to evolve in time for mass adoption. Totally on the same page with you about what I want to see for everyone! Just wanted to clarify that one specific point - that they could just hold as SoV and benefit from price appreciation (possibly at the expensive of others).

The US Dollar isn't going anywhere. Even Putin in Russia came out after Trump secured his victory that Russia would not stop using the US Dollar for international trade, something that is honestly very good for the US. The less we can see divisions in the world, the better. The government is going to do what the government is going to do. It doesn't matter what I think or what objections I have. I just wanted to put them on the table. Fiat thinking is where most of our real problems come from, and I'd love it if we stopped thinking in those terms entirely. But that won't be for another few decades.
