I know this is an April Fool's joke, but I totally fell for this back in the day because of the Constitution of The United States said US money could only be Silver and Gold.
As it turns out, the US Constitution is also a shitcoin.

There is a lot of them out there. Only one that is confirmed not to be, for me, at the moment.
Nah the constitution was just usurped by the UCC and admiralty law. This is why the people who go to court and claim constitutional rights lose- they are under a different jurisdiction than they think.
I'm only just starting to understand all of this but its fascinating
The problem with all constitutions/"supreme laws" is that human beings interpret and enforce them, so they can be easily trashed or subverted. Bitcoin largely solves this when it comes to the money system, but I still fear that even its very hard-to-fool mechanism for allowing yet limiting change may be overcome by a very clever actor some day.
So do I.
