very good points.
I hope that people realize that cryptocurrency is only one class of investment vehicle and continue using other forms as well. The way blockchain tech currently works, it is possible for govs to control it but only if the people let them.
Think of it much the same as the internet. Only if we LET them take it from us will they control it. And if we dont let them----we frigging win ;)
Now the only problem is teaching my beloved patriot comrades that Internet rights are even MORE important today than the 2nd Amendment...
Yet even I carry a bugged cell phone....sigh.
BTW, thanks for the massive upvote. :)
its how i choose to use the technology...to support things i believe in :)
I know, it does suck knowing that nearly all my technology can or has been hacked with little to no effort. And I agree, about the internet. Just like the old saying goes, the second amendment exists to protect the first. The internet simply cannot be matched, as a medium for free speech.
yep...they are tools. We humans choose how to use them. Sadly many people would prefer to do shit like this with bitcoin and cryptocurrency:
My aim is to be in a place where I can tell people they are crazy and hopefully have some listen to me. :/
Trading freedom and privacy for security is bad enough, but that's trading it for convenience.
sadly...
so many smart computer geeks who also have absolutely no sense of what history has taught us about humanity's past mistakes...
