Fortunately for us this also lead to OUR desired result.
Cause division... and then everyone can have their own bitcoin accounts and we can all govern ourselves through distributed ledgers.
I find it interesting. Yes, T.H.E.Y. have been doing this Hegelian dialectic for a long time and getting the results T.H.E.Y. wanted. However, today, they are trying to compress the water in their hands and its squirting out in all directions.
T.H.E.Y. have been setting up this global currency debacle for decades... but now it is going to get people into cryptos far faster than we could have ever done without. And, once in cryptos, then it is soooo easy to change to a better block chain.
Not so much. All it takes to destroy a given crypto is targeted censorship - something they demonstrably effect with facility. Absent additional supportive decentralized technologies, such as mesh networks that aren't censorable, any single industrial mechanism is able to be captured easily.
The real power of decentralization is concatenation across fields. Centralized bureaucracies are inherently incapable of focusing their power on amorphous and distributed targets.
I flag trash. You have received a flag.
