You can't use Bitcoin, because bitcoin is NOT debt, is more like credit, is property.
If a gov will accept bitcoin, it means it will recognize it as MONEY. But that will never happen.
Why?
Because that it means the end of that gov. Govs cannot exist in a non-forever-debt world. And Bitcoin is doing exactly that: eliminate forever debt.
End they know it.
Bitcoin will never be "legal tender". Is impossible. Legal tender = debt. legal tender it DOESN'T MEAN is legal currency ! The term legal currency is a total bullshit. Anybody is free to transact with whatever they want within their private commercial contracts.
Any retailer or individual could refuse to use a legal tender. Nobody can force you to use it.
Why? What is the point of a legal tender then?
The point is that you cannot force a retailer to accept legal tender or indeed any other form of tender. If, however, you buy something from them and there is no contractual barrier to the use of any form of tender, and you offer legal tender in payment, and they refuse it, then they cannot enforce the debt in court.
That's what legal tender means: it's about discharging debts. If you incur a debt you can discharge it with legal tender, but you cannot be forced to incur the debt in the first place, if you see what I mean...
All these news with "taxes paid with BTC" are a total scam to fool people.
What is a "legal tender"?
