A CBDC to boot, they&#39;ll make bitcoin difficult to get in and out of; you might have the economic value of $10 million, but you&#39;ll only be able to use it for small purchases, you can&#39;t buy a house or car with it. <br/><br/>If gold is then still a legal alternative, that would make bitcoins value proposition strained. If its all about protecting your wealth, they could make gold a better asset, and bitcoin would cede value. <br/><br/>From there the bitcoin mining industry collapses and the government buys the mining equipment and holds majority hashpower, they censor all blocks that they aren&#39;t mining. Even if everyone gets together and switches algorithms, the chip supply has been centralized by huge government deals already, they&#39;ll outhash anything we create. 2023-03-25T06:15:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswvkqyy62m2wnnm85en2kerj5e9d67ntlundqcpa0eh5w7lsrg7lqzyr4cxxzvjsddtwjhqggp808vhdacx373qkvwlw5e3upq939xg4lycymsh30 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg4kj6ptaq87c6lepn86f7g2xf8ws8sstejht7f4at3lphg2stpcgz6fk2k'>nevent1q…fk2k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is this intended to free up memory then?
