I reckon the best evidence that crypto is real money/has value is that countries are taxing you on it. How do you tax something that has no value ;)
Governments like to openly reject crypto as an asset to appease the screaming masses, and then try to make money on the sly....
You are very correct on this, I don't know how it skipped my mind when I was making my post.
Because you can not say something is not real money and want to regulate and put tax on it.

Why can't they accept taxes in crypto? They're taxing it, why force us to convert it over? It does not occupy a special place between securities and currencies, it's a currency.
Historically, governments accepted currencies from all over for taxation and used other countries' currencies as part of their currency pools.
