Ellen Brown is author of the book Web of Debt.
Our forefathers turned their debts into currency. That Constitutional approach could work today.
. . . Congress could avoid its debt crisis today by calling for a new issue of debt-free U.S. Notes. That, however, would require legislation, probably a greater uphill battle in the current Congress, even than getting the debt ceiling lifted.
Reducing the Federal Debt
Another way to alleviate the debt crisis with government-issued money was proposed by Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and endorsed by Democratic Representative Alan Grayson during the last debt ceiling crisis: the Federal Reserve could be ordered to transfer to the Treasury the federal securities it has purchased with accounting entries through “quantitative easing.” The Treasury could then just void this part of the debt, which stood at $6.097 trillion as of Dec. 2, 2022. That alternative would be legal, but it would require persuading not just Congress but the Federal Reserve to act.
A third alternative, which could be done very quickly by executive order, would be for the federal government to exercise its constitutional power to “coin money and regulate the value thereof” by minting one or more trillion dollar platinum coins. . .

So, crypto/ bitcoin, gold/ silver, land/safe real-estate.
To me, crypto/bitcoin cannot be put in the same category with gold/silver, or real estate.
Anything that exists on a computer is subject to mischief.
crypto is literally intangible, even the worthless dollar has physical cash that one can give/receive

In some ways a CBDC could help counter some of the more institutionalized fraud that does go on. But with the current WEF agenda the risks of controlling individual spending towards some totalitarian aims is troubling.

Getting in and out can be tricky at times and is one weak spot as various exchanges have been hacked and crashed. It is not the crypto coin that was hacked, but the way the keys and user accounts where stored.
And? If the medium of storage or exchange are not secure, does it matter? You still lost your money.
You understate the problem.
