Die Welt is certainly a mainstream source, so it's interesting to see "
BTC safe haven" talk from them. Any potential "safe haven" has to be
structurally safe from predation because predators will always try to have their way. Crypto is a giant step toward structural safety, but this is far from over. Who would have thought "they" would make owning gold illegal?... but they did (1933). Who would have thought that they would make unbacked paper mandatory?... but they did (1971). Who would have thought that they would then ban the use of their own paper?... but they are doing it (2016).
Depending on when you were born you might see any of those steps either as outrageous or as the normal state of affairs. Pay attention to the world around you - somebody else always does and may or may not have your best interests at heart.
The headline above is true imho (
BTC as barometer for global distrust). What comes next will be interesting. XKCD's famous $5 wrench comes to mind:
https://xkcd.com/538/Them is not a problem , its power is VERY LIMITED in a decentralized world.
Its more an emotional issue , of people realizing they have the power to make changes THUS the responsibility!
So its easyer the baleme "THEM" if YOU fail.
Bitcoin will do its thing check the latest video about currency wars

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Stock_Exchangeeverybody tought they were mad and it could not work blah blah blah , its exactly the same people talked about btc..... let them talk they will never gain from ANYTHING if it succeeds they never took the risk....
Its all about daring to step out of line.
