I was referring to the need to create a P2P form of currency. And by "tied to the dollar" I meant we assess btc at their USD value that day. Its not like we think of them in units of gold or something.
It's funny you say that because I've been training myself to break my programming(brainwashing) as it relates to valuing everything in consistently devalued FRNs for some while now. I'm nearly there, though sometimes I still regress. Instead of fiat toilet paper I try to think of the value of everything in terms of Ozt of silver. Try it some time, it can be very enlightening. When you think of purchases in terms of exchanging something of intrinsic value like AU, AG, or
BTC, you're generally less likely to give them up for something of marginal value, unlike valuing things in USDs or other fiat trash.
There is no difference between valuing something in "fiat trash" and in gold/bitcoins, because gold can be converted to "fiat trash".
Say $10 = 1 bitcoin.
No difference.
