It's not illegal to use other currencies in America lol.

Hardly.

'Legal tender is a medium of payment allowed by law or recognized by a legal system to be valid for meeting a financial obligation.'

In most states it is indeed illegal

also Do you know what happens if you buy gold or silver? you often have to pay a tax and then a hefty capital gains tax when it rises in value compared to paper.

There are a number of obstacles.

You can buy things in Euro, Bitcoin, Canadian Dollars, etc. if you can find a vendor who accepts those currencies. Perfectly legal in America. Good luck with that though because businesses don't want to deal with exchange rates for tax purposes.

You only pay capital gains if you realize your gains (I.e. by converting it back into fiat).

Surely you don't do this, right?

People are people. Just because you're in a group of people doesn't mean you suddenly lose your rights. Corporations aren't some faceless entity that you make them out to be.


it sounds like you wantto be able to create mini dummy corperations, such that each of the lets say 3 individuals in the corporation can vote, and so can the corporation, creating 4 votes even though there are only 3 human bodies.

it sounds like you want to legalize voter fraud.

Corperations are not people and in no way do they deserve anything like the same rights as American citizens.

It's frightening how little some people understand about finance and all the good it does.

It is frustrating how overblown corporate apologist make a parasite's role to be. Remember when the relationship starts to become non-symbiotic it is time to deworm some of the bankers that are sucking all the milk out of governments titty.

It is even more frustrating how internalized value systems can make people worship money rather than some of the loftier aspirations of human expression. It is even worse when materialists pretend to be pious and reject all idealistic beliefs for cold pragmatism.

The distribution isn't exactly favorable currently.
