If someone would do it, it wouldn't be a waste of their effort.
No, it objectively would be a monumental waste of effort. It would be a collectively large amount of man hours wasted on a single cent.
You statist faithful don't reason, or see truth, and the nature of statism is to harm others. It only makes sense that those who understand the consequences of this would prefer that you also did, or at the very least cease inflicting your beliefs on others.. which is an impossibility with Statism.

Unironically uses terms like "statist faithful"
It, the bitcoin currency, payment system, and the technology in many other iterations, is used because it's practical & useful. Bitcoin is relatively more practical & useful because of its wide adoption/use.

bitcoin, which is redeemable at Walmarts,
Bullshit. Bitcoin can be used to buy gift cards through Gyft, which receives Actual Money from bitpay. Neither Wal-Mart nor Gyft actually hold on to bitcoin and one can not spend bitcoin at Wal-Mart. Few merchants outside of Tiger Direct actually hold onto bitcoin, and TD only holds on to 10% of their proceeds.
TD is also run by a whacko who literally thinks the NYSE is gangstalking.
What will it tell you when it continues to grow, despite Walmart's payment system, gift cards, or all the other fiat currency options out there?
Actually the price is continually farting downward and will continue to do so as the world's first self-organizing Ponzi scheme bleeds its members dry.
You might want to be paid in it because it's faster, & cheaper, than any other method. That you're paid in it doesn't preclude you from transferring it to whatever wealth you want to hold.
Oh, wonderful. It's Friday and I just left the office. Now I get to spend my weekend meeting shady losers in parking lots through LocalBitcoin converting my bullshit libertarian pogs into Actual Money.
One might ask why you'd prefer something that only drops in value compared to something that drops & gains in value.
Yes, just imagine if my dollar was worth 20% of what it was a year ago. What fun that would be.
I love the childish libertarian mindset where one gets angry because they can't sit on their money forever and be rewarded for it.
