OK, two cryptocurrencies as legal tender. My point still stands. If you give people a choice between crypto and fiat they will use fiat, even if it’s a foreign currency like the Dollar in El Salvador.
The solution for El Salvador or any other country using a foreign currency isn’t to go with another foreign “currency” like Bitcoin but building their own currency.
El Salvador had their own currency until they gave it up because their leader back then was a US Puppet.
Sole legal tender.
Edit: I dare them to pay all Government employees in Bitcoin, demand taxes be paid in Bitcoin. It would be a funny experiment if it weren’t for mass unemployment and deaths that arise out of a recession.
It would be funny trade wise too. No other country is going to accept Bitcoin as payment for real goods and services. So, the country will have to convert Bitcoin to USD at market price (which can swing wildly) and also hope the market has enough liquidity to handle it.
money has to be backed by the state so if bitcoiners really want bitcoin to be used in everyday transactions, i would suggest running for President and replacing U.S. Dollar with Bitcoin for tax payments/legal tender.
how will the state obtain Bitcoins? by building massive resource wasting mining farms which itll have to issue bitcoin bonds to build, making the state subservient to the private bond markets and interest rate it demands, Greek style.
there is massive plague and the economy has collapsed? what will the state do? cant give people money or increase healthcare spending because the capacity of the state to mobilize resources is now limited by what the private sector is willing to give it or how much it can mine. oops mass death.
bitcoiners have to be dumbest creatures alive. these people can’t imagine a pro-Worker Government so they have to come up with convoluted ways to tie the hands of the state so it cant give capitalists free money.

After a brief pause and a laugh from the audience, Sir Keir stressed a history of public service, particularly as director of public prosecutions, and said he was not “tribally political”.
My beloved apolitical Prime Minister. The poll should’ve had a “neither” option.
Brits fucking suck
I mean…
At a dinner meeting of the Big Three on Nov. 29, Stalin proposed executing 50,000 to 100,000 German officers so that Germany could not plan another war. Roosevelt, believing Stalin was not serious, quipped that “maybe 49,000 would be enough.”
Churchill, however, was outraged and denounced “the cold-blooded execution of soldiers who fought for their country.” Before storming out of the room, he said that only war criminals should be put on trial. Stalin brought him back after saying that he was only joking.

trash replacing trash
that doesn’t change the reality that labour isnt going to do shit.
Wow good job at doing nothing, Sunak.
Of course, Labour is doing neoliberal inflation targeting nonsense
“The Labour MP tells the BBC’s Today programme that he welcomes the news that inflation is “coming down” but stresses that the Bank’s target rate of 2% is where the country should be.”
The “target rate” is achieved by creating unemployment.
Cucked fucking country. All the executives deserve firing squad.
Austerity, border guards & increased policing, yes. Everything else, no.
Sticking to tough spending rules in order to deliver economic stability
Code for austerity, some arbitrary cap on fiscal deficit.
Setting up Great British Energy, a publicly owned clean power energy company
How could that be done if spending rules are ‘tough’? By raising taxes on the rich? I highly doubt that even with the higher taxes, the Government would be able to raise enough revenues to ‘fund’ a green transition.
Cutting NHS waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments each week - funded by tackling tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes.
NHS would require a shit ton more spending than whatever could be raised by tackling tax avoidance. Decades of austerity has to be compensated for.
Launching a border security command to stop the gangs arranging small boat crossings
Hitler particles detected. How will the security command be paid for? NHS has to be funded by ‘tackling tax avoidance’ but funds for border security never need to be ‘raised’.
Providing more neighbourhood police officers to reduce antisocial behaviour and introduced new penalties for offenders
What is antisocial behaviour? Loitering? Also how are revenues for police officers raised? Every bit of welfare has to be ‘paid for’ by raising taxes or whatever but there is no mention of how police officer salaries would be paid for.
Recruiting 6,500 teachers, paid for through ending tax breaks for private schools.
Its fascinating how he can’t just say ‘Recruiting 6,500 teachers’, he has to ‘pay for it’ with something else. Why do private schools exist in the first place?
This is so bad, Starmer is really showing that he is not different from the Tories.
UK sounds desperate for any revenue to show a lower deficit %. It can’t increase revenues by raising taxes on the rich so it does silly shit like this.
the government is out of money ok /s
good thing there are great custom roms for it
Have Neoliberals done anything that isn’t a huge disappointment?
Yes. Military is a parasitic sector where most of the money ends up in the hands of defence contractors in the US. Nothing productive going on there.
Also my point was not just against miliary spending but that military spending is always spared from austerity. See Milei government buying American fighter jets while claiming to “have no money”. Or “bankrupt” Greece getting weapons from Germany while cutting welfare costing a fraction of that.
Yea and why cryptocurrency isn’t money with its exchange rate being determined by how much fiat currencies are entering and exiting.
