BTC cannot be "taken down" or directly manipulated by any government or corporation. However it is still a market, with a supply and demand. Anyone with a significant amount of wealth can impact prices by buying and selling large quantities.
Additionally, the government can restrict your ability to legally trade BTC and tax it using existing banking and FTC and SEC laws and they're working on new ones.
All this to say, the fascists can certainly manipulate BTC (and probably do), but it takes considerably more effort and cost.
The idea of not trusting something "purely digital" or "that I can't touch" makes sense, however consider that if you have a credit card, bank account, mortgage, 401k, stocks, etc, that concept applies to those as well. And cash isn't much different now either. As far as the manipulation factor, try to get $11,000 of your own money out of the bank without the US government getting involved.
I don't think anyone should invest in anything they don't understand. But rather than avoid BTC entirely, I decided to educate myself on it a few months ago and it's changed my opinion on things.
Even then, definitely don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Grew up in KC and been a Chiefs fan my whole life. Gotta look at it this way: The entire NFL and all superbowls together was a 54-year tournament series to see who the best team in the world was. Now that the NFL is effectively over and done with, the series has concluded and KC has finished out on top.
The Chiefs have essentially "won the NFL".
I should also add: I just wanted an account so I could read posts since this is probably the best site for staying informed. I never had any intention of posting so I random generated a name, but I lurk on here several times a day.
And I can't be the only one. Keep up the fight, the silent majority is real.
This why my username is what is it.
The sentiment behind this is true, but it won't be your "tax" dollars. They'll digitally print the dollars which devalues savings. So in a few years when it seems like taxes haven't gone up that much they'll keep getting away with it.
This is how they hurt the middle class that lives within their means and saves for the future without hurting the poor and unemployed or the ultra rich that have their money invested in things like Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies.
