Hi @sinistry,

You actually raise an important point of view, which I hadn't considered.

I agree that this function of currency falls within the purview or power of government. I think it's interesting irony that a technology built for freedom is being mandated.

It makes us pause to think, what does the government already mandate and is this mandate within it's scope of powers and societal norms or is it different.

If this were any other currency change, would we object as strongly?

Goodness gracious, this forum is amazing in the delightful points of view which are from a 360 degree sopectrum around an issue.

It really makes the statement...

if you really want to understand an issue, surround yourself with people who think differently from you and each other.

... valid.

Thanks,
@defigeek

P.S.
Love your name. In English it's an interesting amalgam of "sinister and ministry".
