How would the US pay it's debt then? That's why I don't think they will do everything possible to avoid it. The government needs inflation.

This cliche, it is an interesting conundrum. Can you imagine if every country held bitcoin, what it would do to the currency? When do you think the seizures will start?

People did self custody with gold, too. Look what happened back then. Even with self custody, they have records.

I dont doubt that bitcoin is better than gold. But if the government wants something, they will get it. Even if you have memorized the seed.
