Here's the thing with bitcoin. Too many criminals got that shit from when it was money. So you really think the bankers going to let them cash out? Hell no. That's why 'clean' bitcoin is going for a premium. Cats who sitting on that shit and haven't switched old btc to clean btc going to be in for a rude awakening. The environment, money laundering, and terrorism will be the goto excuses to confiscate 'old' btc. They just getting started with that.
You bring up virtual land. Crypto will never really catch on as money in the real world(stable coins don't count to me). It will be used for money in the virtual world. These virtual assets will eventually be transferable across platforms/virtual worlds. Money will never leave the virtual world. So virtual land, buildings, car, clothing, music, art, pets, food, etc all will have value. It will be passed around families. Kids will grow up with virtual assets. Shit will be in wills and estate planning.
Cats who play games basically doing virtual jobs for virtual money already. Think Madden 22 and grinding for packs. They then turn around and make profit on the valuable ones. IRS says it ain't taxable as long as it stays in the virtual world. IRS will eventually come to tax it, but we're years away.
No fiat gatekeepers for the virtual world but the assets are assets all the same. I love this shit.
Guess where they will build all that shit? On platforms(Eth,ADA, Solana, etc).Take this info and go get richer. We early as hell.
You want to laugh? How many Afghanis you think got rocks(gold/silver) or cash past all those AK-47 taliban? Meanwhile, if they had their seed phrase for digital assets memorized they keep their wealth.
I don't agree with the whole clean/dirty Bitcoin FUD... If you got "dirty" Bitcoin??? Wrap it up!
You can take BTC, peg it to the RSK sidechain and make it rBTC (SmartBitcoin), go on Sovryn dApp, swap it for ETHs, BNBs, or any of the 3 stablecoins offered... rUSDT, XUSD, DoC. ( yeah, I'm shilling Defi on Bitcoin like Jack Dorsey... DYOR here https://www.sovryn.app/ )
Same can be done on Pancake (BSC) or Quickswap (Matic)...
Additionally, there is only one "money" circulating in the "real world". "Money" has value in and of itself... federal reserve dollars, pounds, yuan, yen, etc. only have value because their respective governments accepts them exclusively as payment for taxes... They are only currencies. The slips of paper or digits in the traditional banking system are only backed by men with guns.
Bitcoin has value in and of itself. Gold has value in and of itself. Silver has value in and of itself. Each can operate as actual money. (See Money vs Currency - Hidden Secrets Of Money Episode 1 - Mike Maloney)
Finally, On chain data confirms that Afghan is in the top ten in peer to peer volume worldwide... TRUST, the Afghanis are swapping gold rocks and fiat paper for digital assets.
