Is Bitcoins goal to end governments?

[Haunebu]

Good question !
There is no single "end goal". What we have now is money-monopoly by the governments, what we want (what a free market with free individuals) want is a market for money. Bitcoin is just one piece, one player in such a market for various monie(s). We must work for a world where there is gold, silver, Bitcoin, Bicoing alternative 1,2,3,4,5,6++, e-gold, PayPal, StarAlliance miles, Visa, Mastercard and maybe even also government fiat-money. A world where there are so many various types of different kinds of money that it can not possibly be controlled or stopped.
We nedd MUCH MUCH more innovation in the field of money/credit/transactions, Bitcoin has shown us the light in one important direction to follow, there are many others still to be discovered by bold entrepreneurs.

Interesting viewpoint! Why exactly do you feel that all these current payment systems need to be stopped? I have personally used Paypal, Visa, Mastercard etc for a long time now with little to no issues whatsoever and they have made my life a whole lot easier. I like these payment systems and I do not wish to see them disappear just because governments can control them.

Bitcoin has emerged as an alternative source of payment and am loving it a lot, but I do not wish to see it replace the current payment processors like Paypal etc. Bitcoin is meant to be an alternative.

No way! Or maybe there is,  if everything comes to blockchain.  But governments will be trying damn hard to end bitcoin thats for sure.

[keesh]

Bitcoin is only a currency and it doesn't relate to anythig connected to ending the government. Government cannot be ended because every country needs rules to follow and leaders who regulate these rules.

I have seen many people say that Bitcoin will end governments.

But do we really want that?

And if yes how would things like infrastructure be provided without a government? (This is just an example, you can discuss any issue you see fit for this topic)

Bitcoins goal to end the banks as we know this system. The way to it is started yet. Ripple is working in this direction very purposefully. We see the results yet. There will be even more. World is changing.

I don't think that Bitcoin exists to abolish or end the government. Even though they are considered independent, they are not really concerned with the welfare of the politics since they focus on market.

I don't think Bitcoin was created with the goal of ending banks and nor even ending the baking system, as far as I can think is Bitcoin was created with an insight of it being an asset to us and help us financially and also to get our finance system decentralized maybe

Bitcoin, or the block chain might have the characteristics like decentralization or freedom. And people think that it is a good way to escape from the arms of the abusive government, but it really depends on the government. We have these "government" to avoid chaos but they are ending out abusing third power and stealing millions to people. If these guys are good (some are) then all of the money they are accumulating will go to the more better status of the country, the concept of government is good but the question is what type of government do you have now?
And the block chain is not intended to be that way, if it has a lot of application in us then it has a more application when it comes to institution and government. Block chain is wide enough to have a potential in all of the institution and people who will use it.

Incorrectly, bitcoin only invites many countries to improve the greedy and non-mafia-free financial system and should be fully understood. Currently the world requires certain countries to rich and destroy the economy of other countries, this should be straightened with crypto currency because greater destruction will not happen if the economy is evenly distributed.

I don't see bitcoin ending government and also bitcoin is not even fighting or against the government, bitcoin is here to give us the ability to send money in a peer to peer level without any restrictions and also bitcoin is here as a secondary currency to it users and as an assets. Bitcoin does not have the features of government and can never be a government but a digital currency and a revolution in the world financial system only the bank can see bitcoin as a trait to them and not government.

The purpose of crypto currency and bitcoin, in particular, is to make life easier for people. The creators of the crypto currency did not set itself any political goals, including the destruction of governments or states. If the crypto currency will set itself political goals, it will very quickly be destroyed by an association of states that will not even tolerate a threat to their existence and sweep away everyone who will be on their way. States and governments have existed for thousands of years and no one has yet succeeded in destroying this social superstructure. It will not be possible and crypto currency.

This will never happen. Bitcoins are created to help human life, not to destroy governments. If it really threatens the government, I think it is very dangerous for human life .. and the government of nations will end up bitcoin.

No, Bitcoin goal is not to end the government. Bitcoin started as a decentralized peer to peer payment system, don’t think so complicated.

[jackky]

gold is a decentralized currency, and it being that .. gold did not impact the thousands of past governments that much.

Well, no one says Bitcoin can stop the government, just because a virtual currency cannot end the governments of the world, in the future Bitcoin can be supposed to be an active currency. And there will be private banks, many of which are currently banned from Bitcoin and there is no indication that it will allow it to operate in the future.

[barsametu01]

This is absurd. Bitkoyn himself will be constantly monitored by governments and if he somehow negatively affect the economy of the country, the government will establish rules for bitkoy to eliminate such influence, or make it minimal.

[Carlsen]

From all I know bitcoin was created for two reasons:
Everybody should be able to send funds online, even if banks reject you.
And then you have to keep in mind that bitcoin was created in 2009, shortly after the financial crises for which the banks were responsible a lot.
Bitcoin was Nakamotos answer to that crisis.

[bitbunnny]

No, this is not the goal of Bitcoin and I think this is completely wrong theory.
Bitcoin was never backed up by any political option and I don't think the creator hasn't set any political goals. Economic maybe but political not.
Besides, world and countries without governments is pure utopia, don't have hopes for that.

[bitcoinajax455]

Bitcoin is an open-source, its design is public, it is decentralized, nobody owns or controls bitcoin and everyone of us can take part on it. I dont think bitcoin will end the government. For me bitcoin was made to assist the government in terms of economy, and not to stop the government.

[musharaf]

Bitcoin is good for the people and good for the governments as well it is not aim of the bitcoin to end the governments as it is good for the betterment of the economy and this is good for the people who are jobless or they went to abroad and through this they can send their digital money form one place to another and by this currency many people are doing businesses and this is the future currency so bitcoin is good at all for the governments and every one in the world.

[barsametu01]

The governments are not supporting it because it is a threat to their way of banking and that is why some of the governments are not supporting it. They should know that BTC could really help people and create a new system of payments and should support it by joining the development of it.
