Partitions of groups and matroids into independent subsets

Can the real line with removed zero be covered by countably many linearly (algebraically) independent subsets over the field of rationals? We use a matroid approach to show that an answer is "Yes" under the Continuum Hypothesis, and "No" under its negation.
