Why I hope it catches on is that politicians can no longer run their ponzi schemes like Social Security by just printing more money. It’s kind of like going back to a gold standard.

Sounds like you think it would be a great thing to undercut the U. S. Dollar.

The way to stop the deficit spending is to spark the economy and reduce spending. That is exactly what Trump is doing, and that will make our nation stronger, not weaker.

Undercutting the dollar would be national suicide.

Bitcoin does not undercut the US dollar. You are thinking of the federal reserve and the US governments printing press.

Making our country great today at the cost of our unborn grandchildren’s future is not a moral or ethical position.

Yes it would be great if we could keep the US Dollar as the standard for the world, but our politicians have proven they can’t be trusted. The best way to make and keep America great is to learn how to live within our means, otherwise we are destined to be a failed state.

Having the gold standard or a cryptocurrency as the world standard would make smarter, more efficient, and less corrupt nations the winners.

It is indeed wonderful that President Trump is cutting spending so effectively.

Can you remind me again how much it been so far?

Undercutting the dollar is when you print trillions of them out of thin air and devalue them.
It is not undercutting to go to a standard like gold, or bitcoin with it’s fixed number of coins.
