Bitcoin offered free, anonymous money that held the promise of freeing us from the tyranny that stems from state issued and state mandated currencies.
And it failed. It failed because in the end most people didn't want to use and accept it in commerce to liberate themselves from the chains of state issued currency. What people wanted was not to use bit coins to buy and sell, but instead to buy hoard and sell the bitcoins themselves in hopes of getting rich.
It failed because, at our core, none of us really wanted freedom, and privacy in our economic transactions, all we wanted was speculations and more money.
Bitcoin is proof once again that people don't care about liberty, they care about wealth. And they will always sacrifice liberty for money.
The failure of bitcoin rests in it's fundamental belief that people wanted to be free. People don't want to be free, they want fast cars, big houses, and easy money.

Thats true enough.
But don't be surprised if poor and corrupted countries picks up the remains and start using it as a currency, and not just as a speculative object.

BS. I hate taking orders, and despise someone trying to "lead me," especially when I haven't asked or needed to be led. |

In a world where everything considered valuable is denominated..., money is freedom.

It's a cycle.
1. People want freedom.
2. Regulations are done away with.
3. Someone abuses the lack of regulations.
4. People want regulations.
5. Regulations are added.
6. Regulations start to restrict the lives of citizens and businesses.
1. People want freedom.

Consider looking to deeper sources of philosophy than Hollywood movies. Just a line is not going to change my opinion, I already got such opinion long before the movie and I just want to say that I agree with that and it's a very popular movie :/ |

Wrong on so many levels... For one thing, bitcoin doesn't rest on any such belief. In fact, it counts on greed to secure the network as miners compete to solve the blocks. |
