The war is more between the different central banks, and less between the governments. That people confuse these sadly shows how much Bitcoin is a product of its time. A country is not its currency.

"In order to mitigate the potential impact of Bitcoin, the meaning of Article IV, Section 5 could be expanded to include digital currencies. Rather than limiting its scope to currencies used by colonies or overseas territories, the IMF could use Article IV Section 5 to label Bitcoin—or other digital currencies like it—a “separate currency.”159 As such, the IMF could require member nations to pay part of their subscription quota with Bitcoins.160 This would require member nations to purchase Bitcoins independently. They would then contribute that amount to the IMF’s general fund as part of their quota, receiving an amount of their own currency or special drawing rights equal to the value of the Bitcoins paid in exchange.161 In short, expanding the meaning of Article IV, Section 5 would grant the IMF a means of indirectly accumulating Bitcoins through its members."- from the paper quoted above

Looks to me like sidechains could be the ideal crypto-platform for such BTC denominated stock market! there is no way in hell Wall St would ever market their stocks on a SC before Bitcoin assumes the role of a real worldwide accepted digital currency traded on Forex. the only way Bitcoin can do that is to remain focused on its sound money function solely, as it is now. i've said for many years that all this development being wasted on platforms for stocks, bonds, insurance, contracts, altcoins etc is ludicrous and as a result, most investors in the cryptocurrency space will lose money. it looks like another $21M might just go down the drain. and that is how you tell we are NOT in a bubble.
