> How much does it cost to run the US treasury though?
Would the U.S. Treasury disappear if we switched to Bitcoin? (Hint: look at countries that don't have their own currency. They still collect taxes and spend and borrow money.)
I went looking for an example and to save anyone else some time: Ecuador no longer uses the sucre and instead has used the US dollar since 2000. They do still have a ministry of economy and finance which has a central bank. Fascinating ty!!
