unlike a federal government to give them blank checks of money when they want it.
and thats not a good thing either. lets say a plague breaks out and half the people lose their jobs, you will have to greatly limit welfare and stimulus because you can only spend what you obtain from taxes.
and yes whales do have an outsized control, those with more bitcoin can influence prices by buying and selling on exchanges, who also own large amounts of crypto. they can also hoard more of it reducing liquidity for those who want to actually spend it.

Yeah, which is no different than having USD as a currency.
Oh! And one more thing worth noting. Not having a national currency means you're less able to be targeted by the United States or others that want to devalue your currency. Yes it can lose significant value, but not quite like how the Venezuelan bolivar or the Turkish Lira have gotten blasted.
And if it sounds like I'm advocating for Bitcoin, I'm not, but worthwhile to analyze it realistically.

Also fair on the point with the whales.

Yep exactly. Greece isn't recovering any time soon.
