Fiat money IS a crime. We are born into a world and we accept things when they seem to work. But when you start to look at it and think in critical terms you realize how much faith you must put into the hands of the issuers; and 2008 proved that that is an unwarranted offering. But the trick is to change the world without having to tear everything down and start all over again (which just leads back to the same old). We must slowly take away the power of the governments by becoming independent, untaxable, and indifferent. The internet, and p2p especially, gives the people the ability to collectively work from the ground up. Our government's in the west were founded 300 years ago and we think they are effective in the modern day? We rush to replace anything else ineffective by the power of technology but the houses of our governments are the SAME, filled with the privileged classes that assume they are there to serve the public because they know what's best for us, and then take our money when their friends screw up in the markets and cut them a carte blanche backed by the work debt of the masses.
I get what you are saying, but in all honesty, its naive thinking.
The world has hardly changed politically since the days of the Greeks.
People have always found that when they can't get what they want, they try and find a way to create their own rules. It all works out great for them, but eventually, others within the group want something else, find that the rules don't work for them, and the cycle continues!
I guess the reason for this difference of opinion is our backgrounds. I live in a place where there are daily reminders of 2000 years of man's desire to change their own world. Every few generations, a revolution occurs and life changes. However, the dirty part of reality is that its the same people who are on the top of the pile.
You think the privileged classes will get removed by bitcoin? Forget it, the reason they are there in the first place is because they know how to play the game. Bitcoin is just a handy way to move cash. No more, No less.
yes but never before have we been able to exert power and rearrange society if full sight but also anon....bitcoin is rearageing society
