I just want to understand this a little more going forward. As far as I understand it's up to us as we the people to decide what we want to use as money. No government can say " you are not allowed use bitcoin because we don't think it's really money" when the individual does think it's money than it is, because that's up to us to decide, not any government.
Is there anything in the constitution that protects this? Will we have any backbone to stand on and protest if need be if the government tries to say this is not money and you aren't allowed to use it?
I've tried speaking to some philosopher thinkers about bitcoin and honestly I'm dumbfounded with how illogical they truly are when it comes to the tech. Most of them can see how Bitcoin fits into liberalism although bitcoin fits in for everybody other than banks really. And most of them think Bitcoin has no chance to succeed because of the US government. But what can the US government really do? Isn't it up to us to decide what we use as money? I can straight up say I don't believe a dollar is a dollar anymore and I rather use bitcoin, can the US government actually stop me legally? Or can I fight it?
