The future belongs to decentralized breakthrough technologies. Cryptocurrency Bitcoin as a whole and in particular will forever change the way that we carry out today a transaction, and thus will play a crucial role in the economy of the future.

And because of it many people will have financial freedom too as long as they are going to start working with bitcoin. Also it can be a threat to the economy for those people who are going to be affected once bitcoin is going to be accepted globally. I just hope that those people will also adopt bitcoins so that everyone will have their freedom with bitcoin.
Most of us would really be glad to see that bitcoin is being adopted globally because of its benefits and you say because of freedom from tax but this advantage on us will surely give negative effects on economic state on our certain country which is really bad.I really dont know if its good or not.

But as of now, seeing it on the competitive scene which is global market is going to have hard time. Once the people of the world are educated about bitcoin that it can give us financial freedom, free from tax and has cheaper transaction fees. For sure rant of users are going to adopt it in every part of the world and will glad to use it.
Being free from tax will never happen, once the majority of the taxpayers will opt not to pay because they used bitcoin, our government cannot survive and they will not allow that to happen IMO.

I think that those governments who have decided to deal with bitcoin, primarily pursue its own interest. But what kind of hard to understand. Why, then, other countries do not recognize the official bitcoin is not clear.

Money is never given freedom. However, the good financial position of the person opens up many possibilities. Therefore, only one who really has enough bitcoin and knows what to do with it, that will be really free.

Besides that I earn online, I still have a real job and a salary. I am more than confident that the authorities will do everything that we ordinary citizens have not had a chance to live in prosperity. Therefore stifle taxes. Here Bitcoin enables a person to be confident in yourself and in the future.

The fact of the matter What about bitcoin all just big words, and nothing more. I have very little faith in the quality financial system of the world economy.

It's simply impossible for Bitcoin to completely cut al ties with governments, but that shouldn't be the main point. Important is that Bitcoin gives us the ability to store a portion of our wealth outside the banking system if we so wish. It doesn't mean we must do it, it's just that we have that option open to experience some level of financial freedom. I am sure that a lot people find it scary to be responsible for their money as Bitcoin allows them to do so. That's why the majority of the people will choose to continue with storing money in banks. They can't handle that level of responsibility themselves.

As I get more practical experience, I am convinced of the convenience and practicality of bitcoin and feel that you will soon be able to use them in many situations. I'm watching the price of Bitcoin on YoBit, which tells me the value of the rate on hourly. Now I better understand the price movement and what that movement means.

Bitcoin is bitcoin and Freedom is freedom, As far as I know bitcoin is giving a solutions to their financial problems. Now when it comes to freedom, maybe if they earn a lot in bitcoin and buy anything they want and sustain all their expenses. That can be consider as Financial freedom anyhow.

It depends on the type of money because, if the individual depends entirely on fiat currency, in fact it is difficult to say that he/she is free, since the government has control over the way that this currency is issued, so the government also has control on the value of that currency. However, if the person choose Bitcoin, this person chose one of the few ways to have freedom.

We choose bitcoin to have a freedom also while we bypass the government regulations, this is freedom in my perception overall because once not controlled or regulated, we can do anything we want to do. It's a freedom because we are not required to pay taxes even though we are making money in the crypto world, this freedom is not sure would last but I am confident the system will not change, it will be decentralized forever.

That's why accepting Bitcoin by governments is important

At least, in the same degree as foreign currencies are accepted in most countries, up to a point where you can open a deposit account in any major currency, e.g. the US dollar or Euro. If Bitcoin is officially equaled to a foreign currency and there are no specific regulations prohibiting banks from dealing with Bitcoin (like it is done in China), regular banks would be able to open Bitcoin accounts in pretty much the same manner they do it right now with foreign currencies. Thereby people which are scared to be their own banks would be able to use Bitcoin just like they use foreign currencies today. This doesn't in the least mean that anyone will be forced to use these services as I already anticipate plenty of ado rising against this possibility

Bitcoin may be freedom but we can not say it is not a single meaning. It must be a good life in the hands of man for freedom, and I should be free to do whatever he wants.

As for now bitcoin is not regulated or being taxed by the government. But if the time comes that bitcoin received mass adoption that will be the time that government will place measures to tax bitcoin. If the government will not monitor bitcoin it will be used for tax evasion and money laundering that will kill the countries treasury. If that happens government services will be dead and it is us who will suffer and that is why government will regulate bitcoin to collect more taxes and sustain the economy while continuing the delivery of welfare services to the public.

That is one of the positive side, but if I want my investment to be known by government I would just choose foreign currency or other valuable items like gold, silver or oil to invest, when I want to invest in bitcoin I want freedom, I want my wealth being hidden by the government and by anyone, I think that is one of the purpose bitcoin being created

Bitcoin is indeed a sort of freedom because you can control it by yourself and it can be done completely anonymous.
This why many now are using bitcoin, I mean users are increasing and it is all because of being and having an anonymous account that they can not be traced by other people so Bitcoin is freedom, but there are users that abuses its freedom uses in illegal ones.
 
anonymity alone is not considered as a freedom but the real freedom of bitcoin is that you will not need to have job from any supervisor you are free to do trade of bitcoin wih your oun wish and the other freedom is that with bitcoin you are not restricted by the government to send to anyone the money like you can send your money to any country of the world.

As mentioned anonymity of bitcoin is one among the factor which makes using bitcoin as a freedom to its users. Freedom in other terms is the intermediaries who just earn a lot is avoided with the help of our miners who provide the confirmations with low fee comparatively.

I do not think that the time will come when all people will bitcoin planet free from their governments, and leave control of their finances in the past. It seems to me nobody not allow it.

It's simply impossible for Bitcoin to completely cut al ties with governments, but that shouldn't be the main point. Important is that Bitcoin gives us the ability to store a portion of our wealth outside the banking system if we so wish. It doesn't mean we must do it, it's just that we have that option open to experience some level of financial freedom. I am sure that a lot people find it scary to be responsible for their money as Bitcoin allows them to do so. That's why the majority of the people will choose to continue with storing money in banks. They can't handle that level of responsibility themselves.

That's why accepting Bitcoin by governments is important

At least, in the same degree as foreign currencies are accepted in most countries, up to a point where you can open a deposit account in any major currency, e.g. the US dollar or Euro. If Bitcoin is officially equaled to a foreign currency and there are no specific regulations prohibiting banks from dealing with Bitcoin (like it is done in China), regular banks would be able to open Bitcoin accounts in pretty much the same manner they do it right now with foreign currencies. Thereby people which are scared to be their own banks would be able to use Bitcoin just like they use foreign currencies today. This doesn't in the least mean that anyone will be forced to use these services as I already anticipate plenty of ado rising against this possibility

That is one of the positive side, but if I want my investment to be known by government I would just choose foreign currency or other valuable items like gold, silver or oil to invest, when I want to invest in bitcoin I want freedom, I want my wealth being hidden by the government and by anyone, I think that is one of the purpose bitcoin being created

Not all people are like you (and me, for that matter)

Indeed, no one wants his wealth to be known to anyone (unless he just wants to show up) and still less to the government. But many wealthy people like Warren Buffett made their fortune without concealing their activities from the government, and if they walked the other path (the path of hiding their income) they might not have made it to the top of financial elites. We might not know all the things of course ("never ask me how I earned my first million dollars"), but we at least know what their wealth roughly amounts to, and so does the government obviously
