Meta shareholders rejected the Bitcoin plan with less than 1% in favour. The proposal called Bitcoin a hedge against inflation and weak bonds. GameStop and Metaplanet are among firms copying Saylor’s Bitcoin play.

        corpos might not necessarily want this.

        sometimes they want to get rid of these people when public opinion about them is too dirty, and get a fresh puppet in.

        Workarounds for the shortcomings certainly make bribes possible with crypto but not exactly easier than with traditional currencies.

      Why would they care? Perfectly legal in the US. And consumers/citizens obviously don’t care either.
