Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker, in remarks made at a conference in September, said he doubted bitcoin would ever undermine the U.S. dollar, primarily because it lacks the backing of a government.

It’s all trust issues," Harker said, according to a Coindesk report.
I don’t know if anyone else here ever heard of J.S.G. Boggs, the money artist. He created conceptual art objects from buying things with his drawings of money.
