It is a payment system, not a currency. You still have to put real money into it.

Every single video of these suckers...I mean truckers (shutting down you neighbors' supply chain while the elites have bunkers where they could live for a decade is just retarded) engaging these pigs has the truckers and company shouting down even the slightest acknowledgment of the potential reality of violence. This just tells me they're doomed.
The only thing tyrants fear is the threat of violence.
They keep making it clear that that is off the table.
You certainly don't start there, but there is no sign that there is any sort of line where these people are willing to go there. Videos of mistreatment are only useful to the degree they get a reaction that matters.
"Don't tred on me because you might dirty your boots" seems to be the rally call here. They'll happily raise taxes for new boots.
The only thing tyrants fear is the threat of violence.
Was reading through old posts in this thread and...
From 11/2/2020:
Too lazy to read, I found the 1995 showtime film. This story was written in 1961. It captures the world we now find ourselves. Government mandated equality by handicapping everyone to bring them down to a common level of incompetence, un-athletic, inability to focus on anything, etc. Humans are bred like cattle to balance out any inequalities. The justification is talent causes envy which causes unhappiness / jealousy and eventually war / revolution. There is a class who secretly exist without handicaps; they are responsible for managing / engineering society.
Apparently, this movie was quickly removed and could only be found for high $$$ on VHS tape for years.
It is now available in the Internet Movie Archive and also on youtube: Harrison Bergeron
There is a newer 27 minute movie based on the story on Amazon entitled "2081", but this is "currently unavailable in our location"....of course.
Anyway, thanks Yngvi for posting this Vonnegut story.
Bitcoin is the only back up plan, besides going back to barter, that we have, as of now, to save ourselves from the inevitable demise of the fiat currency system, before an actual world government is institued and a global CBDC is created and we are all fucked.
Volatility stops being an issue with mass adoption, which is the main goal.
It's pretty obvious that the more people use it, the more the price goes up, the more volume will be needed for the price to go up, or down, and it will eventually reach some sort of peak and stabilize.
Do you have any other reason other than the volatility to justify your "stupid as fuck, it's just another fiat currency" opinion about Bitcoin? That sure as hell can't be the ONLY thing you've learnt about it.
Odd that these "Internet Safety" bills are being rolled out in western countries in lock-step.
The UK bill would bring censorship, corruption and unaccountable government prosecution of criticisms almost in line with the China model.
They will have an any easy time planting evidence of digital crimes on their detractors, protestors or innocent civilians.

The most recent news from our competent, efficient and hard working friends in the CCP.
Olympians complain about food, isolation rooms at Winter Games
All of this with government pawns, like Pelosi warning athletes against posting anything that could hurt the feelings of the CCP, because China could attack the athletes "reputations....and their families"
Pelosi Warns Team USA Athletes Not to Anger the 'Ruthless' Chinese Government
We had all better do the same here; If we dare question the competency, efficiency or work ethic of one of the primary financial and logistical backers of our Covid lockdowns and recent color revolution, it will only give the CCP more credibility.
Furthermore, since they are so competent, efficient and hard working, how would it ever be possible to compete with them without becoming a similarly centralized, authoritarian surveillance state?
Is this really a useful way to think about the matter?
Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but this is not entirely true: Bitcoin's Fungibility Graveyard | sethforprivacy.com
I think smart contracts, underpinned by decentralized cryptocurrency, will be one of the most important developments in business and economic history. Eventually, at some point. If your engagement with these technologies is limited to speculative investment or "mining rigs", then disappointment and misapprehension are expected.
One of my favorites. You can listen to it being read. It’s only a 16 minute short story.

I'll have to reference some of my old engineering textbooks to determine how much force would be required to knock those glasses back in place on his stupid grinning face.
