This makes a demand for a currency that bypasses the taxation of printing.

I have yet to invest the time to get into crypto, but I can see a value to it.
I’m thinking there may be no such thing as a Bitcoin. And since something that doesn’t exist can never be found, the mysterious Bitcoin is infinitely valuable, right?

OTOH, the value of the dollar is dropping like a Kardashian’s knickers so people will naturally grab on to something whose value is rising with something whose value is falling and the sooner the better.
