This has already been done to a decent portion of the US economy, including huge amounts of real estate, the most popular social network that is almost certainly closely monitoring our people and youth...
I know you were being snide, but you probably could have picked a more compelling buyer than "the Chinese." I will take Baltimore as-is over Chinese totalitarianism any day.
Sell it to the Chinese? You were also one of the people complaining about masking policies and VERY short-term shutdowns, weren't you...

China’s far from perfect, and pretty shitty in many ways after liberalization; but let’s not pretend the US wouldn’t be in a vastly better place had we spent the last decade or two doing Belt & Road shit instead letting out infrastructure dissolve lol.

I have many, many qualms with my country, its leadership, core economic principles, I could go on, and on, and on. I have been really clear about how stacked it is since I was pretty young, and I am definitely less young now (not old!)
I just don't see cryptocurrencies, as realized for the most part, as the solution to these problems. I think it's actually another problem, and we need less problems.
