What has Hong Kong done to stop Beijing from implementing the security law?
The moment the UK decided to honor their treaty in 97 was the moment the fate of HK was sealed.
Exactly! It was the moment the countdown began. And, just recently, the thing has happened. Hong Kong has now lost its freedom. Hong Kong's democracy was a ticking bomb the moment the UK turned it over to China.
@Darker45. The motives for any cryptocoin ad campaign is always similar. To hype, pump and the whales to dump on the community again. The people behind this ad campaign does not care for the people's freedom.
Bitcoin cannot be compared to "any cryptocoin." The ad campaign that we are talking here is not even initiated by Bitcoin itself, its fund not coming from Bitcoin, the people involved not in any way under payroll from Bitcoin, and so on. They appear to me as mere advocates and enthusiasts who are probably shelling out money from their own pockets for this. Of course, they too have their own BTC, so they will of course gain something if Bitcoin becomes more popular. We all will.
I don't know where you're coming from in saying that the people behind this initiative does not care for the people's freedom.
You should know where I am coming from. We see this everyday. No one cares for bitcoin as a medium of exchange anymore. Everyone appears to only celebrate bitcoin as a speculative investment by declaring it to be a
store of value.Also,
be your own bank and similar phrases were invented by larpers to hype and dump on you. Sorry for being skeptical.
No problem, I understand, of course.
But whatever their ulterior motives are or if there are any, which we don't have a way to really know for sure, they are promoting Bitcoin as it is. They're just kind of describing Bitcoin in a public place, that it is publicly verifiable, that it has limited supply, that it is immutable, that it gives you the opportunity to be your own bank, and so on. Well, except perhaps the description 'magic internet money.' It probably sends a wrong idea to some.
They're not even saying buy Bitcoin or hodl your Bitcoins.
Anyway, Bitcoin's growth to become more of a store of value was more or less organic. I mean, who would have thought that the demand would spike which, in turn, caused the price to increase so quickly?
