"A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online
payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a
financial institution"
"We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust."
I think idolising everything that Satoshi said or did is a bit silly really (he/they wrote code very poorly from any serious software engineers perspective).
Bitcoin should be able to take over the remittance market (worth billions) right now - yet it has basically failed to make any inroads there.
It should also be able to replace SWIFT (but we don't see that happening yet either).
People are worrying about buying coffees for BTC when to do so would actually cost them more (you'd have to change your dollars to BTC which would cost you a percentage and then the retailer will just use BitPay or the like so they won't offer any discount).
You don't get people to want to use a new currency just by making it acceptable to be used somewhere.
CIYAM, you're bearish on Bitcoin's entire future? You think it will fail? I'd love to hear more from you on this. For those that aren't bearish on Bitcoin, it would certainly not be foolish to idolize its creator.
P.S. I realize you likely won't see this because I have a paid signature and you've probably blocked my posts.
