The overwhelming collective mentality and ideology in regards to BTC's and mining seems to be profit$. Is the ideology behind BTC and cyber currency as a decentralization to the current monetary system of importance to only few individuals?

Why can't it be both?

Way more than a few, but most of us are long past having such conversations on an open Internet forum.  Most of the important stuff is still in the archives, though.
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Foxpup, of course there can be both when there is a balance. Have you seen or experienced a balance of sorts in your lifetime under the current ideology? If the ideology is focused solely on profit, there will never be both whether it is sticks, shells, beans, silver, gold, paper or digital.

MoonShadow, thank you. I was just curious as a newb to cyber currency. It is fun to see sharks when you first go to Sea World.  Shocked

Bitcoin has a beautiful ideology seen from a perspective. But, capitalist invasion can hardly be avoided anything that gets BIG in today's world.

ajax3592, anything collective can be avoided with understanding and an interested mindset. A dismissive mindset is part of the indoctrination.
