Title: Learned helplessness: why you love your abusive fiat captors Post by: marcus_of_augustus on April 24, 2016, 01:39:13 AM and letting the monkey out of the cage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YQgp5FW7Z8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YQgp5FW7Z8) Once you are out in the free bitcoin world there will be no-one to feed you ... but look around, the fruit is there for the collection. Title: Re: Learned helplessness: why you love your abusive fiat captors Post by: Holliday on April 24, 2016, 05:44:51 AM I built a cage inside my cage so I can be helpless while I'm being helpless. As you can see, being helpless is the source of my happiness! I purposely wired myself this way because...
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Oh, ho, ho Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind Everything is dust in the wind Everything is dust in the wind The wind Thanks for sharing, although technically this doesn't belong in Bitcoin Discussion until you put your spin on it. I couldn't help but sense irony (thanks to your spin) when the guy keeps talking about getting dollars.

You dumb down the population and you make them depended on the
services you offer with someone else's money. {Tax payers money} The banks also did this and they making you pay huge fees for that service. They effectively saying... We will manage your financial security for a fee. Bitcoin has been developed to break those chains, but people are like the monkeys who has been in captivity for too long... They cannot manage to do these things on their own anymore... They believe the governments and the banks are doing it for their best interest.. and they are soooo wrong. ::) Title: Re: Learned helplessness: why you love your abusive fiat captors Post by: BitconAssociation on April 24, 2016, 11:51:03 AM Wow OP, some serious daddy issues you got there.
Title: Re: Learned helplessness: why you love your abusive fiat captors Post by: pereira4 on April 24, 2016, 12:57:20 PM People become used to what are they accustomed to do, so if they are used to fiat it's hard to break this habit and the thought of using a totally different money is not appealing to the average joe. What will make Bitcoin be used worldwide is when the governments remove physical cash. People will be used to the privacy of physical cash, and once this gets removed, it will leave a gap that only Bitcoin can fit in the next digital government controlled money nightmare we are going towards.
