Since when is Bitcoin a global reserve currency? It could be, sure, but it's not used as such as far as I'm aware.

thats the point of the graph... bitcoin is not already a global reserve currency.. the graph clearly shows its not one prior to 2014.......


the graph is pointing out that, its getting near to the point (hopefully this year) to BECOME!! a reserve currency.

soon™

+1 atleast you get it

dont sell your coins then

keep them and they wont be owned by a greedy corporation, but if you sell them then you obviously dont want bitcoins so in that respect it wont matter to you because you seem to have preferred to go back to fiat

Thats not how it works, sry. You need go get more than 50% of the has power to actually do something, not just the most.

cex.io has over 40%. They sold off some of their power in order to prevent Bitcoin from falling due to lack of investor confidence. However , they can easily get sufficient mining power if they tried to dominate Bitcoin.

This is exactly what Bitcoin is against , the fact that a single person or group of people has the power to make decisions , even if they are trustworthy.

No longer active on bitcointalk, however, you can still reach me via PMs if needed.

Sure, but there are existing solutions for that (like PoS). Eventually we'll all switch to another cryptocurrency that is less likely to be attacked that way.

What Bitcoin is or is not remains a question. However, Bitcoin is NOT the FIRST global reserve currency. The United States Dollar as we have it now is a global reserve currency that preceded Bitcoin.

The Federal Reserve Bank is the maker and controller of the USD. The Fed is an international company. The fact that it resides in the United States simply gives benefits to the people of the United States.

If the U.S. decided to shut down the Federal Reserve Bank, they couldn't do it. They might be able to make certain adjustments on how and where the Bank operated, but they couldn't shut it down. The most they could do is force it offshore.

The Fed is essentially international. The USD that it manipulates is probably the first TRULY global currency. It is a currency that is backed by debt and credit rather than value. The major difference between the USD and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin is a PRIVATE currency while the USD is public. The second difference is that the Big Banking Boys do not control Bitcoin directly. This IS because, Biotcoin, by its nature, is a private currency rather than a public one like the USD.

Nice graph and very interesting. Unfortunately it seems like it's only a matter of time because this changes. I hope it never does but something with this much potential will not remain the same forever.

You could argue whether or not having the fed in the US is good for us or not. The faster people divest from fiat currency the faster the feds power shrinks.
