Hard to be easily debased, hard to mass censor/prohibit payments to unpopular organizations.

So, they just ban crypto, and then they take your precious metals.

Think I'm kidding about the last one? The US government has already taken gold from citizens (by law, and without recourse) before, and nobody did anything about it.

"just ban crypto" doesn't work. They tried that with cocaine already.

They also didn't get a very large percentage of the privately held metals, either.
