trying to help these masses is like trying to herd retarded sheep i tell ya!
That's the thing. It's a million times more simple to herd "retarded" sheep as you call them. Heck, even the ones who think they are in the know are just as mentally in the dark as everyone else.
Then you have the dozens of government intelligence agents that post on this very website day after day that implement their own agendas on behalf of their own "shepards"
Heck this website sprang out of the blue days after bitcoins initial public release, so whom do you think is pulling the strings here? : )
Is bitcoin revolutionary? Yes, but for whom?
Alcohol was banned throughout the united states and criminalized by the "powers that be," yet today is one of the most profitable enterprises in the economy. Hint: tell them it's bad, and they will flock to it like flies to shit
Hint: the sentiment of the people is always anti government. So govt releases a new product and then tarnishes that same product in the media, in order to attract the flies
If the govt says it's bad, it must be good ; )
So I'll throw this out there...
Let's say, 10 years from now (may seem like a lifetime away to a surf with no family heritage or lineage, but for the ruling elite that have been in power over the last 500 years is nothing) the federal reserve implements negative interest rates, meaning instead of the banks 'paying out' interest, they 'charge depositors' a fee on their overall deposits. This would OBVIOUSLY lead to a widespread run on the banks, as depositors all over the country rush to withdraw their savings. So what's the remedy? ...........A cashless society
No cash = no bank runs
Sweden is currently being used as a testing ground for thisAlso I would like to point something out. The Federal Reserve is a subsidiary of The Bank of England, and here's what their chief economist Andy Haldane has to say about bitcoin
"One interesting solution, then, would be to maintain the principle of a government-backed currency, but have it issued in an electronic rather than paper form. This would preserve the social convention of a state-issued unit of account and medium of exchange, albeit with currency now held in digital rather than physical wallets. But it would allow negative interest rates to be levied on currency easily and speedily, so relaxing the ZLB constraint.
Would such a monetary technology be feasible? In one sense, there is nothing new about digital, state-issued money. Bank deposits at the central bank are precisely that. The technology underpinning digital or crypto-currencies has, however, changed rapidly over the past few years. And it has done so for one very simple reason: Bitcoin."Here's another one
"Negative interest rates could be necessary to protect UK economy, says Bank of England chief economist"Mr Haldane said, adding: "What I think is now reasonably clear is that the payment technology embodied in [digital currency] Bitcoin has real potential."I'm not saying bitcoin is bad because of this, in fact those of us with 100 or more BTC will be incredibly wealthy in the future. However, those that think they are going against the banks and the government by adopting bitcoin are incredibly misinformed. The first bitcoin transaction emanated from the united kingdom, and the bank of england chief economist has nothing but praise for the technology. While in the US and in mainstream media the "sheep" are being fed the old "only drug dealers and child pornographers use bitcoin" (the same bad means good strategy used to promote THE INTERNET itself back in the early 90's)
So I'll leave you with this.
In society ALL major changes come from the top downwards, not from the bottom upwards.
