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.

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
