Federal Government (and likely state governments as well) will need to be massively dininished under a Bitcoin standard since the books will have to be balanced. If we transitioned suddenly to a Bitcoin standard, our system would collapse and those that have become dependent on social programs would be in serious trouble, ultimately leading to social unrest.

If I were in charge of transitioning to a Bitcoin standard:

1. Institute a UBI. (This seems counterintuitive but hear me out).

2. Start gutting social programs to reduce the size of the government and let the UBI in the hands of citizens actually direct a free market.

3. Eventually this UBI will become worthless due to its inflationary effects.

4. People are forced to migrate to Bitcoin due to the worthless nature of the dollar at that point in time.
