Americans talk about how 'brave' they are and how 'smart' they are and how independent...
They also talk about wealth inequality, asset inequality, inflation, asset 'availability'... Did they ever stop to think about why we have those things? About why the economy is so K shaped today?
Here's an 'asset'/sound money/transactional capital you can buy today... except noone is using it. It should be obvious

The United States is the financial capital in the world: literally, as the world sources its fiat money from us at a premium. Just as there's "Big Pharma" and "Big Dairy," there's also "Big Money," and we're it.
And just as smaller clinics, organic farms, smaller dairies, etc, all find it harder to operate in the states where "Big Pharma" and "Big Dairy" are at their biggest, the United States is inclined to be hostile to a P2P digital cash system. And I don't just mean "the federal government," but everyone representing or participating in legacy finance here.
It's hardly an insurmountable problem—it is in fact in the process of being surmounted—but there was no reason to expect the "Land of 1929 and 2008" would adopt faster than friggin Lugano. It's Hamilton country.
