That being said the whole Satoshi Paper was against any form of centralized control, and right now we are seeing BTC exchanges control btc.
A BTC exchange is not bitcoin, in the same way that piratebay is not bittorrent. Another difference is that you don't have to keep your money in an exchange, and many people on this forum advise against it.
So I would like to know what this growing community thinks of btc exchanges setting price values as a whole are, are they against the whole idea of the Satoshi Paper in allowing a form of centralized control outside of bitcoin core to control it. Satoshi Paper took great pain to explain a potential flow in his paper, DISHONEST MINERS.
The price is based on supply/demand. They are not against the satoshi paper, just a couple of guys trying to make some profits.
You have to remember that Bitcoin itself is decentralized, it's just you send your money into someone's wallet when you use an exchange - as in, you do not control it anymore.. but the bitcoin network itself is decentralized.
Now I'm more concerned about who the heck is running the btc exchanges.
You do not have to use btc exchanges, simply have your own wallet.
Well a prison exchange or drug exchange won't be regulated (LOL), but you know what I mean
Gold/Silver/Platinum exchanges all regulated
Stock exchanges all regulated
Currency exchanges all regulated
Commodity exchanges all regulated
The bitcoin network is way more honestly regulated than the others - every transaction is confirmed by multiple nodes if they are valid. Invalid transactions get declined. The price BTC/USD will always change, as the USD is facing heavy manipulation and inflation.
