The first step on that path would be to allow government agencies to take any excess budget at the end of the fiscal year and invest it instead of counting it against their budget for the next cycle. They could use some of it to buy Bitcoin, and some to invest in interest earning securities that would help them with their expenses in the future. The interest earned would be counted against their budget for the next cycle, not the total balance of the accounts.
At least in the US, each state is a fiefdom of its own with its own rules that often go down to the municipal level. There is no way to align property tax, import tariffs or sales taxes on a national scale without a complete revolution that would see the Federal Government take over from state and local tax collection. It will never happen.
It should be a transaction tax conducted by the financial system and paid automatically with every purchase of anything from billion dollar companies to sticks of gum. It's literally just math. But it would require a complete surveillance state with the computers knowing who is buying from whom, where each person is, what they are buying and how much value is being transferred. Such a system could work on a neutral trust-less foundation like Bitcoin. But do you really think it's likely?
The Bank Secrecy Act was passed in 1970. What we are seeing is attempts by the Department of Justice to justify prosecuting users of Bitcoin by holding them to the standards set before there were more than 10 computers on the planet. This dog can't hunt.
Cat toys need GPS trackers.
I'm just saying.
I blocked his accounts the day he won the GOP Nomination in 2016. Have never listened to a word he has said since, nor read anything other than memes that people have posted.
Nostr is better than any of the others in my opinion, by 10X or more on day one. No corporations, no algorithms, no advertising. Nothing the other platforms can do will beat that combination.
DJT does not support Bitcoin. He supports crypto.

I'm just waiting for him to say anything actually intelligent or logical about Bitcoin or Crypto that wasn't scripted for him by someone else.
Blood is in the water.

Why on earth would anyone give dollars to a politician? ;)
Contributions to political campaigns in the United States are 100% KYC down to the sat, and it is all public information by law.
Just keep that in mind.
I remember a brand of clothing that I really used to enjoy, called Deva Lifewear. All cotton, hand made, top quality, super basic shirts, pants, etc. We really enjoyed that clothing. And we were really sad to see them fold as a company. They were having trouble getting the quality of cotton, and they decided not to produce reduced quality. At least that's what I remember reading from them in their last catalog.
I just found the brand, still alive and kicking, under a slightly different name. Deva by Cammy is the current branding, and it turns out that this was one of the shops that actually made the clothing for Deva back in the day. When Deva itself went under, they sold the patterns to the shop, and while I don't know how long they have been active it looks like they have everything I remember.
As usual, when I see companies like this online, I wish they took Bitcoin.
Let the entry with the longest history become the 'primary' entry for the topic, leaving the others to be found in the history. I'm thinking in terms of how the Bitcoin blockchain operates, where ~ every 10 minutes a hash function is confirmed and the next block is established. Maybe every hour the wiki system runs a hash function and locks down the content on each page, and the link to the version of the page with the longest history of hash confirmations becomes the destination for any links looking for that page. If no change, no hash function operations are needed so the system saves resources by not running it. More active pages might accelerate the frequency to prevent too much branching.
I'm just brainstorming. While collaboration is critically important, what matters is whether a page and its content are secured and not subject to branching and manipulation. The communications related to trying to get a page or article content agreed by all parties would need to be a "talk page", similar to how Wikipedia does it, but more formalized and in the open. I would love it if someone would put together an instance of Apache Wave for this that works on Nostr. Loved that system.
She found one, a pre-natal that might work. Will give it a try for a bit to see how well it works.
Good suggestion, but she does have a similar reaction to Folate.
Dear health peoples on Nostr,
My wife has a bad reaction to Folic Acid, and every single women's multi-vitamin that we can find includes that as an ingredient. Can someone help me identify a multi-vitamin for women over 50 that does not include Folic Acid?
