distribution is bad because bitcoin isn't really free-market. It's a patch for a corrupt system - at best.
* Is less humane and more capable, causing assorted dangers but also being more pure (in a currency sense)
Humane? What the hell are you talking about? The fact that bitcoin can't be counterfeited, at least in theory, is one of its main advantages. But I imagine that 'humanism' for you means : the totalitarian government I favor should be able to print money out of thin air in order to fund whatever 'free' and compulsory social plan I like. Obey or die.
* Can be substituted very easily by something else
I don't really mind Bitcoin becoming successful even though it's imperfect; it's still an entirely higher/better league than banks.
But apparently can't be manipulated by governments! The horror.
do mind there being no talk of why Bitcoin sucks. Because no matter how awesome it is, it really does suck.
Of course bitcoin pushers won't talk about why it sucks. Wait. If I recally correctly, you as a pusher used to whine about bitcoin being used in black markets because of the bad press? And now you changed your tune? lol
