Bitgold transactions would make the central bank defend its market share.

History suggests that the only way to rein in the sprawling Federal Reserve is to end its money monopoly and restore the American people’s ability to use gold as a competing currency.

With a gold-based currency up and running north of the border, why not offer Americans a monetary choice as well? The proposition is simple. Americans who prefer the incumbent monopoly provider of money are free to keep their accounts as is. Those who prefer gold are free to switch. And the Fed is free to defend its market share with sound monetary policy.
