The media, government, and business are entangled to push forward their own agenda. It's no surprise this story began and ended with Bitcoin. Decentralization is the arch enemy of the Big 3.
I read an article about the U.S. doing some type of review on Bitcoin a few years ago(I can't find the article). They couldn't support it. You know why? Decentralization.
But A Fed Coin created by the Federal Reserve where Student Loans are considered Assets? Yeah, that's ok.
