Bitcoin Standard: How Nations Could Embrace Digital Currency
In a recent interview with Scott Melker, macroeconomics expert Lyn Alden shared her vision for how nations might start embracing the Bitcoin Standard.
The Bitcoin Standart is a concept proposed by economist Saifedean Ammous, which views Bitcoin as a decentralized alternative to conventional currencies and central banks.
Alden suggested that countries could begin by incorporating Bitcoin into their national reserves and enacting favorable regulations, such as eliminating taxes on small Bitcoin transactions to encourage its use.
While Bitcoin’s current market size makes it an impractical choice for global reserves or legal tender, Alden believes ongoing financial issues, such as the U.S.’s substantial national debt, could speed up its adoption by both governments and financial institutions.

She pointed out that Bitcoin’s increasing liquidity and acceptance might eventually make it a significant financial asset, paving the way for broader global adoption.
As of now, with Bitcoin trading around $66,743, its growing popularity among investors reflects its potential role in future financial systems.
