They want to keep the power of money creation at all costs. But Bitcoin is there to take the power of money creation out of the hands of the states and give it back to the people. It is therefore eminently political and strategic reasons that motivate governments, the World Bank, the IMF, the Fed, or the ECB when denigrating Bitcoin.” This is 100% true. Removing the central authority from the picture for creating/regulating currency means that those institutions lose influence and economic power that they’ve fought to create and hold for years. permalink embed save report reply [–]CryptoScamee42069Tin 25 points 16 hours ago Absolutely correct.

I’m assuming you’re from the US given the context. It was founded as a representative democracy but it has operated quite separately from society for some time. The founding fathers viewed the British political system with disdain. They considered party politics to be divisive and dysfunctional. The US was instead founded as a true representative democracy. Later, that changed and you became arguably the single most party political country on earth. So are your representatives drawn from society? Yes. Can anyone do it? No. Campaigns are obscenely expensive and requires substantial backing from parties and big business. This breeds a form of elitism that renders representation being out of touch for most of society, and for those that it isn’t, it still usually comes with selling out your values or becoming a puppet of other forces. Next, there’s your election structure. Super Tuesday is a long held tradition from a time hosting an election on a Sunday was blasphemous and it commonly took civilians two days to reach the nearest township on horseback. That continues as a tradition today even though it is well known that it disenfranchises the working class. Voting is also not compulsory, so there’s no incentive for businesses to ensure voters have the ability to do so (in ‘the land of the free’ no less). There’s also the electoral college that manipulates the value of votes. A true representative democracy would measure all votes equally. This, on top of Super Tuesday preventing all citizens from being able to vote reinforces how the government doesn’t necessarily function in the best interest of society, or as part of it. You are able to vote for a small number of representatives that are often hand picked and groomed, not necessarily passionate members from society that put their hand up. You also may not have the chance to vote, and your vote may weigh differently to that of others. Aside from voting from someone else, how accountable are they? Public discourse doesn’t control them, they are rarely prosecuted for crimes and corruption. They may be impeached or stand down but continue living their elitist life otherwise unaffected. You can submit FOI requests to hold the government accountable and those requests can be denied. Whistleblowers are imprisoned and prosecuted aggressively often when trying to expose matters of government wrongdoing or other things of great public interest. I think they operate quite independently from society and certainly control it. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]OneThatNoseOneBronze 5 points 14 hours ago It has been overt collusion between Wall Street and monetary government forever.

Other powerful industry disruptor examples include ride share apps, homestay apps, open source technology, online marketplaces and so on.

On hot summer days everyone sets up a lemonade stand to make money. Thing is, as soon as one stand makes it's first sale it uses those funds to buy more lemons from the store, dwindling the stores supply. Next door see's this and decides to join forces. They are buying all the lemons they can. Even if you sell some lemonade you will not be able to resupply yourself and will eventually go through your inventory and wont have anything left to sell. Meanwhile, those that teamed up not only can continue to make the more lemonade but they bought so many lemons from the store that the store gave them exclusive rights to be the first purchaser of all lemons that get restocked. So even if you BORROW some money from your mom to buy more lemons, you are second in line, and will remain there, unless you join forces with the kids across the street. permalink embed save parent report reply continue this thread [–]Salad4HungrysTin | CC critic 1 point 16 hours ago literally they are permalink embed save parent report reply [–]selphfourgivenessSilver | QC: CC 220, BTC 28 | r/CMS 26 | Superstonk 24 2 points 15 hours ago Sometimes the simplest answer is the best permalink embed save parent report reply [–]1000xcoinsTin | 1 month old 1 point 16 hours ago The real reason permalink embed save parent report reply [–]lowkey_loki97Tin | 1 month old 1 point 16 hours ago nothing more need to be said permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Salad4HungrysTin | CC critic 1 point 16 hours ago Absolutely a asshole permalink embed save parent report reply [–]FillupDubyaTin 1 point 14 hours ago Hahaha yeah they are!!!! permalink embed save parent report reply [–]OneThatNoseOneBronze 1 point 14 hours ago The simple answer and thefe satisfying answer permalink embed save parent report reply [–]lumpletfure00Tin 14 points 18 hours ago I think once government have power or control over crypto the purpose of crypto will be defeated permalink embed save report reply [–]Mr_Bob_FergusonBronze | 6 months old | QC: CC 18 6 points 17 hours ago It’s about working out how to put in a level of regulation to limit the volume of scams, yet still remain decentralized so that no single government can control it and we can realize the benefits of crypto.

Would other countries allow it? permalink embed save parent report reply [–]CryptoScamee42069Tin 3 points 16 hours ago I don’t think it’s so much about what other countries can or will allow, but how governments claim sovereignty over certain elements of crypto. No country owns the blockchain, but the SEC has authority over US citizens, which means they can impose regulations or laws on investors or projects operating out of US territory. That includes tax frameworks so they can raise revenue to which they believe they entitled (bastards) and regulating certain aspects of the market by their own standards. As someone else said, that may look like protecting US citizens from scams or assets that don’t sufficiently meet their registration, licensing or reporting requirements, or it could be any number of other things. That’s why the SEC claim ETH may be a security is such an interesting case study because they now know following the merge that the majority of PoS is on US soil, so it gives them the legal right (by their own laws) to regulate and control it. That aside, at the end of the day, the biggest impact individual nations can have is on their own population and I think aggressive regulation is counterproductive. It undermines transparency and honesty where people will find loopholes to not pay those taxes, report capital gains or use shell companies etc to move their activities away from their resident country. The best approach for governments, in my opinion, is to embrace the opportunities the blockchain provides. Regulate it to make it safer and more secure for your people, sure, but realise that utilizing it and supporting projects to innovate and operate within your country can provide substantial economic benefit.

If the government decides that crypto is a threat to its power, it will simply make it illegal. As long as they can sufficiently control it, or it doesn’t affect the majority of their power, they will not expend much energy over it.

It's almost completely useless, and its issuance policy is unsustainable and will ultimately lead to lower and lower security until the chain is completely abandoned, much sooner than 2140. To be honest, I feel horrible for newbies coming into crypto and thinking Bitcoin is "safe". A bunch of people are going to get rekt in the next 3-4 halvenings once issuance plummets and miners start shutting down their machines leaving the chain susceptible to attack. People will cry to regulators just like the Luna fiasco and all of crypto will be worse off. There's two options that I see: Bitcoiners become self aware and realize that they need to hard fork to include the capability of verifying zk proofs onchain allowing true L2s (that actually accrue fees to the base chain) in addition to adding a tail emission (and breaking the 21M cap) to maintain sustainable security Bitcoin fails to change and remains the same as it is today and ultimately collapses. There's still time, it just requires gasp off chain governance.
