What kind of people use Bitcoins, the digital currency designed by cryptographers to be untraceable? Web entrepreneurs? Open-source evangelists? Anti-corporate hackers? Well, it turns out, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the average Bitcoin user is a libertarian. A 32-year-old libertarian male to be precise.

I'm impressed.  That's exactly the age I had when I learned about bitcoin.

And we will have lost one of [sic] greatest advances of the modern age: power over our own currenciies.

I was under the impression that we (the people) don't have control over our currencies, the bankers do, primarily through the Federal Reserve bank and their supporters in government.

If anything, Bitcoin will restore the people's control over the currency and put everybody, including the bankers and governments, on a level playing field. And that is what bankers and goverments hate about Bitcoin: they don't get a massive advantage over the rest of us.

The average paperbug is a 72 year old democratblican.

Integrated Distributed Ledgers
A whole world of different blockchains living together in a single network based on DAG. No more gates, bridges, portals or special nodes connecting blockchains into a single whole. Only one p2p network, consisting of blockchains of various types: from private for state and corporate networks to public for crypto projects.
