will moon hard and everything else dumps

If they do this BTC will win, unironically.

It legitimises cryptos whilst simultaneously confirming Satoshi single handedly bent the will of the most powerful organisation on earth. If FR makes a crypto dollar it will solidify BTC as the new gold. 5TN market cap easy, governments will start buying it.

>from the makers of the us dollar.

desu inflation is needed for taxing

>buying a centralized coin

yeah like that's going to end well, just look at the 900 other coins

you mean it's needed to cheapen government debt while stealing from the little man? either way, it doesn't make any asset attractive. nor does the outlook of censorship and surveillance.

PUMP and dump

id ironically shill it for gains

this is good for shitcoins you fucking retards

It will be an inflationary shitcoin. What's the purpose of a crypto if it acts like fiat shit?

Tfw usd isnthe tether of fiat

crypto is essentially fiat. the only thing missing is force backing it.

Holy shit that's embarrassing. How is this guy so stupid?

See, you're at least a little smarter than him. Crypto is backed by (trust in) math. Until we get fuckoff complex quantum computers or some shit, there are going to be under 21 million Bitcoins and they will remained assigned to the people who've earned the assignment. That's why it's valuable.

Conversely, the numbers in your bank's servers are backed by (trust in) the Fed & the government. As we've seen from countless historical incidents, that's worth approximately dogshit. USD's real value comes from being the one currency accepted for US taxes, the one currency accepted for oil, and reserve status (where it's the least shitty and devalued of all other currencies). Force backs the first two, but crypto threatens the third (because even the shittiest BTC clone is harder to arbitrarily devalue than the USD).

Very little. Relatively instant transactions vs. overnight COBOL jobs for interbank transfers, but otherwise the financial system setup around the USD is as optimized as you're going to get with all the mandatory anti-money laundering & inflation managing features the government demands.

Basically this.

Wait a second, what did I just write?

>reserve status (where it's the least shitty and devalued of all other currencies). Force backs the first two, but crypto threatens the third (because even the shittiest BTC clone is harder to arbitrarily devalue than the USD).

Oh fuck, what if the Russian, Chinese, and Iranian governments pile into their own well-designed altcoin? Throw in some untraceability, twist the arms of a couple banks, and they don't need SWIFT, just the internet.

the purpose of crypto is giving us the choice not to use such a shitcoin

Don't they own (((blockstream))) already

holy fuck this

...

whens the ICO?
