Decentralized control of Cryptocurrencies

[VictorProsh]

Decentralized control of cryptocurrencies.

The existing monetary financial system of the USA has strict control allowing to regulate the issue and creates rules for centralized financial regulation. One way or another, all countries of the world build their financial policies on the same principle, focusing on the $ USD exchange rate because the world does not yet know another better system. With the advent of BTC and other crypto currencies, there was a similar issue of control, but there was a problem, how and who will exercise control? All the developers, focusing on the dollar in various ways and options, decided to invent a square wheel (cryptocurrency Fiat) in the end, a dollar called centralized stablecoins USDC, USDT and BUSD and supposedly decentralized stablecoins (UST, DAI, FRAX, FEI, OHM) turned out again. The example of LUNA showed the inconsistency of such ideas. An attempt to link centralized finances with decentralized ones leads to what Satoshi Nakomota refused by inventing BTC. Satoshi's idea is to create decentralized finance, which should and will exist in parallel and complement each other by transforming.

What do you think? Is it necessary or possible to control a decentralized cryptocurrency or not.

The fuck is Satoshi Nakomota?

Those you mentioned above is centralized and no one is decentralized except Bitcoin. A trully decentralized coin e.g. Bitcoin can't be controlled and doesn't necessary for it.

Decentralized finance especially Bitcoin needs no central control. It is a crypto currency that is left in total control of it's holders. You own entirely every single BTC in your wallet without any third party interference. Stable coins has no intention of controlling your Bitcoin rather as centralized as they all appear it is only a tool for fighting volatility

Bitcoin is indeed a decentralized cryptocurrency but it turns out that as people and the government adopt Bitcoin, the decentralized nature of Bitcoin is being challenged.  Instead of going p2p, people tend to rely on and trust central exchanges.  That is where the transformation begins.  Although no one can control the decentralized blockchain, the process between clients that uses centralized exchanges is controlled.  With all these KYC and central authorities of exchanges and the government demanding these exchanges to conduct such a process, the government then can have a grasp of Bitcoin transactions and can rule or control anything that is processed under these centralized exchanges.  After all, CEX users' fund is taken care of by the CEX admins, so they can control these funds anytime they want.

Stablecoins are not a tool to combat volatility, they cannot affect it, but they can affect uncontrolled inflation, since they are printed uncontrollably.

let's take it from the meaning of it all, we called something a decentralized network, having the full understanding of what the word decentralized means it has made the whole explanation of itself without any need to further stress, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and can not be controlled by any third party, we all understand many attempts from government to regulate and control cryptocurrency but all moves turns void as bitcoin has its system controlled and regulated by itself, only the crypto industries and exchanges can't escape the regulation on tax among others from government since they are centralized.

Your question is ambiguous, read it again, in any case the concept of decentralization is what defines it in itself, by pretending to use the adjective "control" it does not eliminate the concept, then in contrast, it is important to know that if you have bitcoin for the sole fact of having them does not mean that you handle the concept or premise of Bitcoin (Dex)

Depending on who you ask, if I were the director of the central bank then my answer would be "mandatory". This question has long been answered by the fact how governments want to control as much as possible, and prohibition is the ultimate judgment of their inability.

The right question is not about necessary or not (globally) as it is an option individually. If you still enjoy the facilities of a centralized financial system, it shouldn't be a problem even if you are controlled and bitcoin is not for you.

Based on the concept, no censorship, and how Bitcoin was created it was the true and only decentralized cryptocurrency in the market but we also need to understand that after private organizations and institutions are the major investors in the bitcoin market its decentralization level has also changed.
Therefore, it is possible to control decentralized crypto at some point and no crypto can be decentralized forever.

Are you saying here that there will be a time that bitcoin will become centralized ? Like Satoshi will be discovered and things will be ultered like the white paper, the community and there will be claim of ownership etc. What do you mean with that then ? Can you explain better on the statement.

The very fact that something is decentralized means that you cannot fully control it and there is no central authority that has the power to limit or control it.

I do not believe that is how the decentralized aspect of Bitcoin network works. Changes in the system are only possible through the collective decision by the majority of Bitcoin nodes, not by Bitcoin whales.

Therefore, it is possible to control decentralized crypto at some point and no crypto can be decentralized forever.

No, that is incorrect. The system can be decentralized forever.

let's take it from the meaning of it all, we called something a decentralized network, having the full understanding of what the word decentralized means it has made the whole explanation of itself without any need to further stress, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and can not be controlled by any third party, we all understand many attempts from government to regulate and control cryptocurrency but all moves turns void as bitcoin has its system controlled and regulated by itself, only the crypto industries and exchanges can't escape the regulation on tax among others from government since they are centralized.

The main thing is to understand what Bitcoin control is for you. If you mean in this concept that no one can take it away from you or forbid you to dispose of it, then this is true, but you are mistaken! Bitcoin is controlled by its main holders. They manage its volatility and control it very well, while making good money on it. By managing volatility, they become monopolists, and monopoly is the main control over the crypto market.

Agreed, the whales on the market were able to manipulate the market. This isn't long lasting, they were able to do this to some extent. Those are days when the market is infant, whenever there happens a crash the whales make some disturbance and the same crashes the market even further. I remember those days when there is crash, we can see a series of negative news on hacks, stolen funds etc that are intentionally circulated to create panic waves.

Well, as noorman0 pointed out, it depends on where you are coming from. If I am to put myself in the shoes of the central bank governor or the finance minister or even the president or perhaps even the CIA or FBI director, this lack of control is a big problem and should be solved. This decentralized currency will either be controlled or stopped. But coming from somebody who is fed up with all these controls, it is best to just let it operate as an alternative currency.

But the more interesting question is, could it be controlled or stopped? But leave out the rest, we'll only talk about Bitcoin.

[Dunamisx]

base on my personal experience and view about bitcoin, i can say it cannot be controlled neither can it be stopped, and i will like to buttress some point for the two answers, it cannot be controlled because Satoshi Nakamoto has made every necessary plan in place before the launch of bitcoin to make it fully independent beyond the control of anyone, that privacy and freedom in financial economy we all find it difficult to cope with make him implement the digital currency fully decentralized and that's why as you've mentioned that it's a choice to use or adopt bitcoin, secondly it can't be stopped because they have tried many attempts to ban what is not under their regulatory system such as bitcoin but it can't be stopped because of the anonymity in the system as well, that's why after the ban on banks to stop any crypto transaction and close users account responsible for such couldn't as well solve their problem because banks were ban p2p cannot be banned.

Its not about control being necessary. The government has fiat and the people has Bitcoin. I think the government doesn't need to really control the decentralized currencies. We can go on forever while there is Fiat system and there is also cryptocurrencies. The government can actually have their own stablecoin, whether itsCBDC or like any crypto stablecoin which I think people will not mind.

[Moneyprism]

when the government tries to control bitcoin it is like restricting someone's freedom... bitcoin was developed to be a currency which will bring financial freedom to its users.. and when the government wants to control bitcoin for "security reasons" it is the same as restricting someone's freedom and i totally disagree with that

I think the government will thrive more in the finance aspect when they allow the decentralised finance to function on it own and not to try caging people onto their CBDC by all effort. The world is now developed and people are looking of freedom as in enshrined in different constitution including in the financial aspect. Having digital currency is what many countries are doing to discourage the users of bitcoin.

I repeat, monopoly is the main control of any market and bitcoin is no exception. A monopolist controls bitcoin through Fiat, emptying your wallets, stuffing his own and try to get out of this control, it is unlikely that you will succeed. The crypto market in this sense completely repeats the currency market. The principle of the market is to make money on the mistakes of other market participants.
Any monopoly inflates bubbles and collects its fragments in time, this is the main tool for enrichment. If there was an opportunity to insure your risks from such losses, life would be more fun.

You do realise you just explained difference between centralised and decentralised monetary system? I’m not sure what’s the point here but yes that was the very much vision of satoshi and that’s what he already achieved through a decades timeline. Believe it or not we already have one way or other to use bitcoin as decentralised monetary system no matter how many rules and regulations are imposed throughout our country. There is decentralised exchangers or p2p platforms which would give you liberty from even centralised exchangers.
