My savings account has an ACH connection to my Coinbase account.
I transferred money to Coinbase to purchase bitcoin.
If I want to, I can sell some bitcoin and transfer it to my bank account and use it to pay for anything, including taxes.
The corrupt US feral government is printing dollars and stuffing their pockets as fast as they can. A washing machine we bought last year for $500 is $750 now.
There can only ever be 21,000,000 bitcoins, and 18,000,000 of them have already been mined.
No government can inflate bitcoin to oblivion, but they can inflate the dollar to oblivion, and have every intention of doing so.
You said it exactly.
Some people’s comments amaze me.
They act like our dollar has actual real value. The only thing it has had is a monopoly on use, and the power of the federal government to tax the living crap out of us or confiscate our wealth backing it up.
