    Bitcoin has been a scam for 15 years. It’s not money, it’s not official, it’s inefficient, it’s useless and irrelevant.

    They’re trying to do this with stablecoins, forcing them down everyone’s throats. In America, the GENIUS Act is basically forcing that system as an option from what I understand of it.

    I’d go XMR anyway, since unlike stablecoins (Circle or Tether), I’d want to use something that doesn’t have surveillance, a kill switch, and something transparent like Bitcoin’s blockchain (of which is transparent and auditable). All, of course, I’d advocate on hardware designed to self-custody your XMR and BTC, and never sending Bitcoin anywhere (because you get taxed otherwise).
