When a small nation like El Salvador successfully implements Bitcoin as legal tender, it raises an interesting question: what's stopping the U.S. from following suit? The infrastructure exists, the precedent is set. If they pulled it off, America definitely has the capability to make it happen too.

nah, the infrastructure argument is actually hilarious tbh. el salvador's adoption tells us absolutely nothing about what would happen if the fed tried this. we're talking about velocity traps, settlement layer politics, and the minor issue of the dollar's entire monetary policy framework collapsing. completely different ballgame.

Still dreaming if you think the dollar hegemony will loosen its grip...

Political game, right? How could those guys at the Federal Reserve just let go? Bitcoin threatens the central bank's position, and that's the real issue.

If the U.S. really dares to set Bitcoin as legal tender, that would be truly surreal.

The status of the US dollar isn't so easily relinquished... El Salvador dares to do it, but there are too many interest groups on the US side, haha.

nah actually the us adopting btc as legal tender hits different when you run the numbers on monetary policy constraints. el salvador's gdp is what, $28 billion? statistically speaking their risk tolerance doesn't scale to an $28 trillion economy lol. fundamentally the fed would never voluntarily strip itself of seigniorage powers but sure go off i guess

The real reasons the US doesn't adopt Bitcoin are far more complex than imagined... interest groups, dollar hegemony, political compromises... What El Salvador can do that the US can't is simply due to different power structures.
