RE: ECB Says BitCoin is Not a Currency! Is this a problem for Bitcoin and all Coins?

in #bitcoin7 years ago

@akilie1029 thanks for your comments. I understand then and agree to an extent but it is much more complicated in my opinion. Currency is not just a way to transact, it is also what supports a country and our world. Do we really want to put currency in the hands of anonymous groups that cannot be tracked and whose agendas we are not sure of? Who do we go after when something goes wrong and how can we really trust them to do the right thing by us? We are already seeing lots of scams and BS happening in the industry and wht is the recourse for people who are involved innocently. Think about this. You own a business and agree to take a cryptocurrency for your goods and then it is revealed as a scam and you are now left with this worthless currency. Who do you call? These are real issue that have not been thought through well because everyone is so excited about toppling what we have already. I will tell you something fiat currencies work flawlessly right now. The only issue is inflation and the irony is that Steem for example has inflation built into it. So there is no advantage. My point is that we need to temper our enthusiasm with reality and realize that if we tamper with what works, we had better be sure the replacement works better or we will have serious problems. Thanks again.
