the return of Taaki one of bitcoins lead developers

http://www.wired.co.uk/article/amir-taaki-dark-wallet-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-revolution-catalonia

Amir has been tied up in some dodgy stuff in the past.

As I write this, Taaki is in the process of recruiting the first five members of his academy: they will have to relinquish any other responsibility or commitment, undergo a period of “ideology training”, and live an ascetic life in the property Taaki will rent. There will be no salary other than “participation in historic action”.

This sounds as much the makings of a cult as Bitcoin development.

I wonder how long until some Bitcoin Liberation Front emerges out all this shit and starts kidnapping banksters.... hmmm no, we don't need that shit. It's sad how all nice things end up being politicized for all sort of random purposes.

That's what bitcoin is built for, to use against the Central Banks

But it is the wrong way to carry the "fight". Bitcoin needs to be adopted, that's all it needs to achieve its purpose.

Maybe not... But still don't see how it would help increasing adoption instead of the contrary.

When I hear the words 'Widespread Adoption', I want to reach for my revolver.

yes agree. these words are from the snake's mouth trying to sell us an agenda.

Bitcoin is too far from "Widespread" adoption yet, many years far away, but... you don't think it is important? For me, it is adoption (even if very limited yet) what gave Bitcoin value (not necessarily price). The more people that "adopts" Bitcoin for whatever reason, the better.

It was just a quote mildly relevant to the conversation.
Adoption is a very old chestnut, and I'm scarcely qualified to comment.

Bitcoin has the potential to change the entire global economy. It was never not going to become political.

This is probably what the bots see.
But if we break up instead from fomo, it's hella (short-term) bullish.

True in a sense... But it is not political nor ideological reasons what leads to adoption (beyond a very small niche). You can take any example, ie: Internet, cell phones, etc.... Most people adopted it because it was convenient and it was that growing adoption what led to change. One could argue that nothing really changed (I think many things did... though overall it is still the same in some sense)... Well, that's a complex issue I have no answer about.

If Bitcoin ever reaches (near) mass adoption it will for sure have some impact but maybe not what some people think. Poors will still be poors, rich will still be rich and banksters will just embrace Bitcoin at its core business. Not sure about governments though... but they will probably find ways to keep the status quo.

Hope to be wrong, but in the end it will probably be a major fin-tech advance that will benefit many or even everybody in some ways (as Internet did)
but the global economy, as we know it, will still be more or less the same.

And thus was sanity restored to the WO thread. But for how long?

And that is being said by a guy that even if he's not Satoshi himself most people agrees he could perfectly had been. Additional layers are the only way to really scale orders of magnitude from here.

Visa is a not only a second layer (for the banking system) but a third party completely centralised one. Bitcoin can perfectly compete with that while being decentralised on its core... but only with adding L2 for "caching" the mass of small payments before settling on main blockchain. Also the only way to make those payments "instant" which is a must for most consumer payments.
