“The value of crypto is that its not Federal Reserve notes which lose value over time”
if the dollar is such a worthless currency, then why is all crypto quoted and traded in terms of dollar valuation?
Its not worthless, it is worth less ~ 10% this year.
It is the legal currency, by law all debts are settled in the currency.
If they changed the law so that contracts or debts could be paid in Gold or Crypto then the dollar would be used much less.
Which is why you will never see that happen.
