I'm not measuring the value of BTC in USD, I clearly stated 1 bitcoin for 1 bitcoin worth of stuff. That stuff will invariably also have a USD value, and similarly a EUR value, and a Yen value, because that's how currencies work. And just as you can say a EUR is worth 1.05 USD, you can say a BTC is worth 15k USD.

Yes, I stated bitcoin's purpose, but I said nothing about avoiding financial regulations. What I was referring to was ledger keeping.

I am quite happy with the corner I'm in. May I ask why you are opposed to and seek to vilify something you don't use or are in any other way affected by?
