Bitcoin wouldn’t be an awful solution to this, but there’s certainly a few better ones, such as
- Visa and MC just being the opinionless payment providers they ought to be.
- Regulation enforcing all payment providers to be similarly opinionless.
- Ethereum, or another crypto more suited to many, fast payments
- A layer-2 network over Bitcoin that can enable many fast payments, such as the lightning network.
This is unsurprising.
But forcing a recorded count does get those Republican Nays on record so they can be punished later.
