Those who benefit from it, and those who don't participate in it. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]YoMamasMama89 [score hidden] 51 minutes ago (4 children) I've heard the best way to improve it is make it so that it incentivizes participation. Like get compensated to vote for example. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]zuilli [score hidden] 10 minutes ago (0 children) You don't even have to pay anything, just make it so people feel like their vote actually matters. Representative "democracy" is a big mistake for such huge populations like we have today. No one can find a politician that will 100% agree with their views. It's time we find some way to bring direct democracy back. If anyone has the time I highly encourage you to watch these videos about the fake democracy we live in today (they have english subtitles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8vVEbCquMw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoP_mSIHqTY permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]CryptoBehemoth [score hidden] 33 minutes ago (2 children) That's a good idea.

So those senators and representatives that were in the know just hid out in hotels in DC, waited for most of Congress to leave, then voted in this crap Wilson should’ve vetoed this just on basic principle, since most of Congress wasn’t even there, but he signs it into law He later states that this was his biggest fuck up permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]LucidLV 12 points13 points14 points 4 hours ago (5 children) We never had a choice…. permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Lewzer33 7 points8 points9 points 3 hours ago (4 children) We do now. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]drewshaver 2 points3 points4 points 2 hours ago (3 children) The real choice comes when western governments outright ban Bitcoin permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Lewzer33 1 point2 points3 points 2 hours ago (2 children) Only time will tell, but I don’t think that has much chance of happening. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]drewshaver 0 points1 point2 points 2 hours ago* (1 child) If and when there is a real financial crisis, I wouldn't put it past them They also could stifle it into the ground with onerous regulations. Perhaps they will require any tx you initiate on chain to have tons of KYC done on the recipient, this will scare everyone to using the 3-4 big platforms to hold their coins and voila we have tradition banking redux. They also may try to fracture the network by requiring miners to blacklist according to OFAC, if a few large countries get together on such an effort they could really throw a wrench in the whole uncensorable proposition These are not things I hope happen of course, but it's important to consider your opponents' next play so you can be ready permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]CPhaze 2 points3 points4 points 1 hour ago (0 children) I consider all these highly possible, but also I consider how corporations essentially own the US government and the fact that many would benefit more from Bitcoin than from modern banking. I think having a hard money standard again will give them massive power. They will find ways to drain sats from the common man and hold them in perpetuity. My biggest fear is not the government, but what becomes of the world when Bitcoin is truly adopted. Still a Bitcoiner through and through, but if we are correct there will be a class of people who own Bitcoin and those that do not. Like now, most people won't understand how money actually works and corporations will exploit that fact to accumulate sats and never let them go. All we can do is the same. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Asleep_Plant6117 10 points11 points12 points 4 hours ago (1 child) But this is a beautiful drawing that Rothschild depicts permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Siludin 7 points8 points9 points 4 hours ago (0 children) Tell Roth that his child is drawing scary shit again permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]vnielz 6 points7 points8 points 2 hours ago* (0 children) If they’ll come for my BTC or putting a huge fence around it by closing all ramps, it makes me no other choice than move out to El Salvador to protect my (kids) wealth.
