Government always hides productive truths from the masses

[Yaqs15]

Even today,there're still truth,information that still remains unknown to us as citizens and individuals.One of the biggest mistakes to make in life is to depend wholly and lay so much trust on the government.
I think its okay for the government to be transparent with the public,and at the same time act otherwise.

So many governments around the world have considered bitcoin as a currency that'll disrupt economic and financial activities of the government,and that's why there's why there's the clash.
To me I think bicoin and cryptocurrencies will continue to be viewed with distrust by governmental authorities until the governments can more effectively monitor and control them.

If you want to be happy in life and don't want to be disappointed, don't depend on anybody including the government. some people have it in their mind that their government is owing them a lot of things like funds, good education, infrastructures and jobs. Yes, it's actually the duty of the government to provide for the citizens all of the above mentioned. But still, the way government are behaving and depriving us of a lot of real facts and our rights are being denied of, one should not deeply depend on these bodies called government. If not you end up being disappointed and depressed. Your government will tell you that they are trying by all means to make sure you people as their citizens are living a very standard living. They will tell you that they know of the kind of hardship you are going through and that they are doing everything possible to alleviate these suffering. But all these things they are telling you are nothing but lies, because they continue promising you with fake promises and you will see them and their family and friends living a very expensive life and you and your family are just getting more poorer. They will make sure they don't give you any access to any opportunity that will make you live the life equal to their own living standard.

While the government doesn't want you to know what you should know, you owe it to yourself to make sure you research the most relevant technology. We are in a digital world, and no matter where you are located, as long as there is an internet connection in that country, you can browse for the information you are looking for, and you will properly understand and learn the information that is being passed.

The government can cease to bring some relevant tech information to the public, but those details are not restricted on the internet. Search about Bitcoin online, and you will find different articles to read. Some people did not get on time with Bitcoin because there was no one to properly teach them. I heard about Bitcoin quite earlier but was not interested because I lacked proper knowledge and no one to actually convince me to invest, but today there are more people talking about it all day on social media.

Yes, the government may not be transparent to us but with the help of social media, slowly we began to understand what we ought to know that the government may hide from us. Because I believe the government should be more open and honest to its citizens, otherwise it will lost its essence as the governing body of the nation, state and community.

However, when it comes to bitcoin, the fact that they don’t see it as pro-government, then they won’t acknowledge its true potentials that could bring success to a lot of people. Thats why people should not totally rely on what the government says, instead they should be more resourceful in finding answers that would serve as the key to their life’s success and financial stability.

Why do we spend so much time discussing matters that have to do with the government? The government and its subsequent board of members are people with one goal which is greed. Everything they do is for their benefits, these concern involves the world in general and not a specific continent.

Why should people not spend time arguing or debating about government matters? Are those bodies not in power to serve their citizens and not the other way around? No doubt,  corruption is at the height of it, but still, we shouldn't be entirely quiet and accept things the way they leave them to be.
 
Discussion about such matters brings about exposure, and it helps most times too to prepare the minds of the people about what they are to face, or better yet, iron out ways to tackle the government to do the right thing.

The reason why people are always talking about the government is that they are tired and they won’t stop talking until the government have satisfy the needs of the people. And this have started for a very long time now and I don’t think it will end anytime soon, because currently they spend money during elections so they will want to make back the money they have spent through their corrupt practices. The people they are called to serve they no longer care about how people feel all they want now how they can satisfy their self. Greed haven driven them to engage in corrupt practice. People are tired that is why they are accepting it. It’s like people don’t longer have choices. And any form of protest will lead to government using the police and the rest to intimidate does that are trying to fight for the right thing. It will eventually get to a point people will disregard the kind of behavior that the government is portraying.

The government cannot be too open to the public neither will they be that lenient by sharing some sensitive information to the public, we should go by the way of their leadership, since we believe in their competencies and make use of that in voting them into power, all that is required is for us to render a supportive hands towards every developments they are giving to the people.

[DaNNy001]

Get used to it my guy, the government will always hide things to their people, either for the safety of the people or their own but the truth is that they're going to be hiding it mostly for their own interests and to protect those interests, either you start the change or do nothing and just talk about it, uncover the stuff through investigation, pretty sure that with enough money, you can get an insider that would leak you all the information that you need to know and then spread it to the world.

Op really need to get use to it because if he don't the government will frustrate him. However the truth is that governments will not tell us the truth on about the things they do, because they don't do the right things always.. most of the things they do are not good, because they uses their power to intimidate the poor.

[Casdinyard]

Would highly agree on governments being self-serving and corrupt to the point that they'd keep shit away from the people even when it's supposed to make lives better and easier. However, isn't Africa already a little bit more crypto-friendly so to speak? I mean I have friends and acquaintances living in the South Africa who got jobs and had their lives practically set from cryptocurrency investments, and while yes, banks and governments in some parts of the continent are adamant about banning cryptocurrencies entirely, for the whole rest the continent's pretty much crypto friendly and are becoming even more by the day.

So yeah, I completely agree with you, just don't see why you'd think Africans are crypto-ignorant when they've been at the forefront of most cryptocurrency movements as of late.

But, I think he is already frustrated and that this is why he is here with this thread. Each of us has things that we prefer to keep as secret and so as the governments. There are still things that they care to tell us and ask our opinion if it's good to do or not, so I won't attacked them right away. That's harsh if you will say that governments don't always do the right things and if they do, then they won't sit any longer on their position because they are only ruining the country or its economy. Again they are only a human like us and they can make a mistake too sometimes. Governments don't intimidate the poor but in fact they like helping them the most.

It isnt really shocking that there would really be those individuals who would really be that totally despise the government on which it isnt really just that right on having such approach on which you've said that there might be some mistakes but not all government would really be something like this. It would really be normal that there would really be some classified informations which arent supposed to be shared up into its citizens or into the masses to avoid some panic or whatever their plans would be because we dont know on what are the plans or they do know on what they are doing. Somehow, with those other non good
behavior and doings with other government in some parts of the world then you cant really be able to blame out people on why they would really be having that kind of hesitance.

So instead on making yourself that being too worrying or get stressed on whatever they could potentially do then it would be best that you should be focusing on the things that you are doing.
Dont mind about government and dont mind other people. Truth might be hidden up but sooner or later it would really be exposed if ever there would be informations or things
that been hidden upon.

There are governments that even with the support of their citizens, they still don't do well. But I agree that not all information should be spread to the public especially if they are classified and need to remain censored.

It's just sad to see that many governments are like that, they hide their incompetence through making another noise so that the attention of people will go there instead of backlashing their incompetence.

Well, this is a politics game and most of them knows how to play the game.

Even if you don't like the actions of the government, you have to trust the government and follow their instructions. You have to go according to the budget they make. When the government adds extra VAT on something, you have to accept it because you cannot go against it and reduce the VAT. Many activities of the government may feel bad to you or go against your will but you must accept them. You must take into account some of the points you made here on the subject of Bitcoin Validation. For example, the economic conditions of all countries are not the same. There are many developing countries whose economic conditions are weak and the governments of those countries certainly do not want to stop domestic transactions through banks because when domestic transactions through banks are stopped, they will suffer a lot economically. Considering these aspects, we cannot say that the government always takes bad decisions.

It's truly disheartening to about the challenges and misinformation that nation are facing regarding to digital technology and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. It's unfortunate that some governments have not prioritized educating their citizens about these advancements, leading to missed opportunities and a lack of understanding. The technology world is evolving and there is a shift from analog to digital technology which is indeed a significant transformation and it is understandable how the lack of proper education and infrastructure can create hinderance to embracing these changes. It's crucial for governments to empower their citizens with knowledge and resources to align with the digital world effectively.

The misinformation surrounding Bitcoin are common especially when governments restrict and spread false narratives concerning bitcoin. It's important for individuals to seek out reliable sources of information and educate themselves about these technologies to align with the global change in the tech world. Despite the setbacks it is never too late to learn about and invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

You do not have to "trust" them, but you do have to follow their instructions, because governments instructions are basically laws, and if you do not follow the law, the ending isn't so great. Obviously it is not going to be so simple, some people will have some issues about it, but we just need to make sure that we are aware that we are not going against the government neither.

You are right that, even if we dislike the government and hate what they are doing, we just have to accept the fact and just move on with it and there isn't really anything that will take that much time, we shouldn't really see that as an issue, we should just keep remembering that government has the power over us, and no matter what we do, only thing we can do is vote them out, that's it.

I actually came up with this thread after I've put to considerations in researching why most of bitcoin Investors expresses their regrets of coming late to the bitcoin industry was because of the lies laideby our governments

Most governments paid no mind to Bitcoin early on. It was just another social experiment which will fizzle out in time. Anyone who didn't invest at that time either didn't have the information or were skeptical about the network.

When the price started to go higher and the community grew, more attention was paid to it and the fud started; calling it a bubble which would soon burst taking your hard earned money along with it. Anyone who was convinced by this without doing their research shouldn't be holding Bitcoin.

The government can withhold information about the existence of aliens or cure for cancer but a decentralized network with a public white paper is not in hiding, you're just not interested enough to do your research.

I agree with you. Even in my country, there are those who have not cared about Bitcoin since the beginning, and even now my country has not legalized Bitcoin. I think if we look back there will definitely be regrets for not investing when Bitcoin was first launched but what can we do, because we live in a country and sometimes without information we can only surrender to the situation.

In as much as the government still try to hinder some of the activities of crypto enthusias, there has been a lot of African youths that have over the years built their own knowledge on cryptocurrency and other Innovations in technological advancement without the help of government. So i believe with time the knowledge so far acquired by this African youths will saturate across sub-saharan Africa.

The government cannot give a knowledge they do not have, although, they do hide the truth from her citizens, yet, it's also the obligation of any being with a brain and time to research for themselves whatever thing that interests them. Africans have a lot trust for their government such that most people wait for their orders before they could do anything on their own.

However, since the people are beginning to discover the truth, and the few youths who moved ahead to venture into crypto, not minding what the government says, now reaping the fruit of their labor, a lot more eyes are being opened to see what's real.

That's a real fact. Once depended so much on the failed governments, there'd be no other choice than taking decisions on your own, make research and discover what feels right the government had hide secretly for the people.
Indeed the rate of crypto adoptors at now has been impressive but would had been more than as it's if we earlier learnt realistically about digital technology talk more of entrusting our funds in the internet.
The government actually knew how good it was but has always filled us with lies and we believed because we trusted them of being our guardian leaders but not until it's made obvious that they're all just about selfish interests not to reveal the independent cryptocurrencies provide us the citizens.

Agreed with your statement but I would rather say let's not keep us occupied or think a lot of those things which government tries to hide from us because there are lot of secrets which cannot be revealed to general public and it won't make any difference in general public's life of they knew those secrets. I understand there are things which they hide for their own benefit but not everything falls in this category.

It's the duty and responsibility of the government to maintain peace and order in the society and this extend to keeping secret, confidential or sweeping under the carpet certain informations that can cause public outrage and social disorderliness and chaos in society. However, government do take the advantage to manipulate our perception about any idea or information base on how it suites their interest about it. Any form of an idea like bitcoin that will liberate the citizens from the complete reliance on the government  they quick frown at it because they understand it threatens their stronghold on the citizens. And when they can't find ways to hide the idea they'll use the condemnation mechanism to attack it. It's for the citizens to create a culture of doing a private digging on things the government comes publicly to condemn as not all are in the citizens best interest but a way of control mechanism.

While OP is true, most African governments were very late to embrace Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, the situation has clearly started to change of late. Crypto usage is increasing in countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, with increased usage for remittances and peer-to-peer transactions. Most of these adoptions have been fuelled by the underdeveloped financial infrastructure and the dire need to have more adequate and accessible means of payment. This is because, for instance, 57% of Sub-Saharan Africa's population is unbanked; crypto-and mainly Bitcoin-is a real alternative for attaining financial inclusion.

But it is not all a question of opposition by government. Most of these countries are still cagey because of the volatile nature of crypto and the attendant risks. For instance, the Central Bank of Kenya warned against Bitcoin, citing its speculative value. In spite of that, its value went through the roof, with local currencies like the Kenyan Shilling losing their value. While it would seem that governments delayed the adoption, this was more about concerns with regulation rather than deliberate sabotage.

With this, we increasingly see more stablecoins and a deeper exploration of blockchain systems, especially in South Africa, where even studies are being conducted on stablecoins for their benefits in boosting digital payments. This could mean that very soon, crypto will be way more integrated into the mainstream financial systems.

I actually came up with this thread after I've put to considerations in researching why most of bitcoin Investors expresses their regrets of coming late to the bitcoin industry was because of the lies laideby our governments and also why the government is being against the non custodian financial system as bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies at large is because the government have in plan to economically imprison the people in the future but was unfortunate for them that one single individual known to be Satoshi Nakamoto came to deliver the world from such disasterous plans of the government to take control over treasures of the people.

Just like us, at first we didn't know that BTC would reach a price of tens of thousands of dollars or that not many of them knew about the great potential behind the technology that exists in BTC. But, I believe that now quite a lot of investors who have money and funds visit experts in the field of BTC investment to start fully consulting and learning a lot how they can also store their money in BTC safely and comfortably.

Investment expectations are always born when the invested assets are attractive and provide profits and are comfortable, without much intervention so that it is risky for himself and his funds. Perhaps, previously it was still comfortable if they put their money into the instrument government notes but after learning it was just a waste of time and had to be prepared with all the consequences of the examination, let alone working on the physics project.

[Albarq]

That's a real fact. Once depended so much on the failed governments, there'd be no other choice than taking decisions on your own, make research and discover what feels right the government had hide secretly for the people.

From the stigma, society can now judge what the government is doing to the people and it is clear, even though many are disappointed, the lower class people need attention regarding their life needs, and society trusts crypto more than leaders who don't care anymore.
