One day bitcoin will be so integrated that we will wake up and realize that bitcoin IS the way to go and there is no point for using stupid fiat anymore.
But there is a point; control.
History shows that every power loose their control at some point.
Yes, indeed. I agree. Someone else may (or may not) seize new control, but at the end of the day; it's power and control. It's like how America started. A bunch of guys sick of religious and financial persecution got together, fought and went on to start a new country of their own where they could persecute on religion and financial matters. It doesn't matter who really.
I just hope at least a small part of Bitcoin sees fruition in educating Americans (and other global citizen) what is really happening in the world with regards to money policy and how very slanted the system is. I hope it gets normal citizens charged about educating themselves properly and teaches them to see the bigger picture than if I buy X coin, I could make some money if big money jumps in.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. By that token, I'm sure the fiat mess isnt necessarily by design.
Im thinking about the pattern of systems arisng through consensus. (A kind of anthropological corollary to software design patterns)
This is a pattern that repeats through human existence. Acceptance of a concept and propagation of its practical implication, leading to who knows where.
This seems natural, as it should for it has been the way of things for millennia. The practical implication of any given system is not at issue, this t would seem to me is the manner in which human evolution at a cultural level has and continues to evolve.
I am observing though, how that may change. The Internet facilitated many things, previously unimaginable. Of particular significance is the massive increase in coomunication potential. I think we are currently living through one of the most significant shifts in cultural evolution *ever*. Consider the normal 'evolutionary' timescale for a species, and then consider the disproportianate speed at which technology has evolved to low us to suddenly be a able to communicate with anyone in the world in any place at any time (thereabouts).
The impact of this will be, I beleive, as obvious and astonishing as the industrial revolution is to today's historians. We are in it now so we can't see it. BTC is just one facet of the integration of man. We're becoming a worldwide nation. Borders must drop. Equality must happen. Monetary equilibrium is one stepping stone. I'm for it, we are all the same. One love.
