you might have to consider leaving the usa so you can get away from the us dollar and be free to buy those euros and use them...

Unless regulations get even stricter, you can buy fiat currencies in the same (but more complicated) manner that you buy bitcoin. If people observe their currency getting devalued rapidly, then I don't see why not switching to another. The problem is that it's too difficult to have cash of non-foreign currency; here bitcoin comes.

as an altetrnative to owning bitcoin i suppose someone could own gold or silver. those are also inflation hedges.

In addition to what o_e_l_e_o said, if you're not a goldsmith, you're about to pay lots in the verification part. On the other hand, verifying that you own bitcoin is free.

The US government just sold another batch of Silk Road BTC for worthless dollars...

These idiots don't realize: 1) they have the FED, 2) BTC's scarcity, 3) BTC's 4-year halving cycles.

By late 2025 they will wish they had hedl!

But hey, at least it's good for people who want to buy cheap BTC (I guess it's no longer considered "tainted").
