Bitcoin is programmed to break the law

[TeslaUa]

I hope you agree that Bitcoin encourages speculation and entrepreneurship.

As such, entrepreneurship uses all available lawful methods to do business and is pushed by competition to resort to unlawful methods. So that is what some people end up doing. In other words that iconic 21m curve you can see on my avatar is the rule that ultimately governs people - there is fierce competition for limited resources. And breaking bad is what fierce competition is all about.

Your thoughts?

Would you like me to hit you with the obvious stick or something? You still seem confused after beating yourself with it, even.

All you say is...people want it so badly, some will do bad stuff for it.
ehm...guess you are right with that.

So gold is also programmed to break the law.

[TeslaUa]

Yeah, thanks. Meaning that inflationary coin just would not cut it after all.

Gold shortage is a rather temporary and silly obstacle given a perspective of asteroid mining. Which is pretty inevitable if you ask me

I can't believe people can really be this dense.

Welcome to the real world, jackass. People commit crimes constantly for anything with any monetary value, including dollar.

This is gonna bother me forever:

Bitcoin cannot break the law because it is not a person.  You cannot get Bitcoin to follow the law; in a sense, it is the law over the software it dictates, but itself is inhuman and cannot be coerced or persuaded in any way.

[TeslaUa]

You got my point right, Mike.
