With the rise of Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology, should a national government adopt it as a means of currency? On one hand, Bitcoin offers decentralization, transparency, and security that traditional fiat currencies may lack. However, concerns like volatility, regulatory issues, and lack of central control may deter governments from adopting it. Additionally, what impact would widespread adoption have on the global financial system? Would it lead to more financial inclusion or instability? Furthermore, how would Bitcoin's limited supply affect a nation's monetary policy? These are just some of the questions that policymakers must consider before making a decision on whether to adopt Bitcoin.
