Imagine if the U.S. government used Bitcoin to pay off its debts! That's what one expert, Andrew Hohns, suggested. He proposed a new kind of bond called a "Bit Bond" that includes Bitcoin.
It's like a special savings account that combines regular money with Bitcoin. This could help the government save money and let people invest in Bitcoin without paying taxes.
- The government would issue $2 trillion in Bit Bonds.
- About 10% of the money from these bonds ($200 billion) would be used to buy Bitcoin.
- Investors would earn interest and share Bitcoin's profits.
- It could help reduce the national debt.
