You are the President - how would you adopt Bitcoin?

In a perfect place, with little debt, great demographics, no incumbent currency to ditch, good trading partners and a productive economy… let’s say you were the President of your people.
Which policies would you introduce to bring about Bitcoin adoption and focus on the individual? To bring about the best conditions for all…
———

How would you have your country adopt bitcoin?

———
Rules
  • List your top 3 policies (or more)
  • It need not be your current country. It may even be a niche community or state.
  • There will be some resistance to change but broadly speaking, your people are receptive to new ideas
  • Crazy ideas are welcomed. Out the box thinking and new ideas will generate excitement.
  • How would you bring about the most impactful change on a 15 year time horizon?
  • e.g. Do you push everyone to adopt it quickly (El Salvador style) or do you start with school curriculum gradually?
  • How do you attract and develop talent?
  • Or do you create a dystopian CBDC as a strategy to foster a grass-roots movement? 😂
  • No wrong answers…

I'd have everyone read @DarthCoin bitcoin guides as a mandatory daily practice. Problem solved anon.

  3. teach those people how to use Bitcoin
  4. repeat

And if your entire community (could be ‘just’ 1 million people) really needed Bitcoin? You could outsource the President bit 😅

please stop putting your hope into a president. They are all garbage and liars. FUCK'EM'ALL
Bitcoin is not coming from top to bottom, is the way around.

I hear you all. The intention with this thread was to focus on Bitcoin policies rather than the likelihood of being a political character.
Was hoping to discuss the merits of the following amongst others:
  • Small airdrops
  • Education for ownership
  • Education for devs
  • Attracting talent via citizenship
  • Energy in the home
  • Debanking
Or to see if anyone had some solid ideas to accelerate usage. S’all good, driving change individually.

Executioms begin day one...whats that about bitcoin? Oh, I guess ill hyperinflate the dollar to such an insane degree that banks simply give up trying to collect because any rate of interest they charge is insignificant to the hyperbolic acceleration of inflation; and ill make all consensual trades legal and tax free with bitcoin, so youd be stupid not to use it. After all that i figure the government would be incapable of funding itself so id wait for the lights to shut off in the whitehouse, put on my suit coat, light a cigar on the way out and toss my zippo into the gasoline soaked carpet on my way out. Its a fantasy, let me enjoy it.

If I were to do the things I would be assassinated. I would step down though. No one person should have the power of a President.

Crazy ideas are welcomed?
Get all the African countries who were shafted to accept the French Franc (and have it halve in value overnight) to a) fart in their general direction, and b) mine Bitcoin by weighing all of the airspeed velocity of European Swallows and c) say that the French Francs are silly, very silly and to stop it and adopt Bitcoin.
