It has NOTHING to do with infrastructure.
Quietly tucking unrelated laws into bills just to get unpopular stuff passed through is why people hate DC politicians.

well it was invented because of unfettered money printing. The tracking of every transaction is just a bonus.
And who provided the unfettered money printing, and who all but owns every gateway and development chain to BTC and who now wants to merge "no buy lists" with Big Tech to PayPal to Social Credit scores to Real ID to wrongthink?
The merging of facebook/youtube information gathering with open financial transactions that cannot be used for private stuff is the permanent death of freedom. Before, a bank would know who you spent money with or they would know you took cash out.
Now, in a very short time. The all seeing eye will know that you said on facebook you did support BLM but that instead you sent BTC or govcoin to [right wing thing] instead. Government know, tax people know, political party knows, NGO researchers know, anyone at home who knows kinda what they're doing knows.
Please for the love of God grasp that as smart as something like BTC is, it takes someone far less smart than that to know what a public ledger would end up doing for the masses it purported to have served.
BTC taken to it's logical end point is the final word in a free society.
