| The 1% also has access to bitcoin. I would love to see the yearly incomes of people who invest in bitcoin and than we shall see about this "bitcoin is for everyone" rhetoric. Actually in fact, i would love to see a lot more transparency about the people who do invest in bitcoin, so the bitcoin story can be developed supported by more facts. So that way we will know who the interested parties are which will tell us lots about it. The censorship issues you describe are describing people that already have money, so i don't know how these people don't follow in the above category. It sounds like these people don't want to pay any gov tax, well those are the kind of people that should stop using any of the services that society pays for using tax. They wouldn't go very far if that was to happen would they. I don't feel bad for them. If gov tax is such a big issue, why even live in society, money surely came to your pocket from society in the first place, you had to make it somehow, whether legally or illegally. So you definitely benefited. Essentially you are stealing from everyone in society when you are attempting to avoid tax or tariffs when moving your money out of the country. How much money do you really need man? The people that are investing in bitcoin are not living on a dollar a day. Bitcoin is not for everyone and it does not make it easier for wealth to be distributed or aids upward mobility unless you count the early adopters which a lot of them just so happen to be insiders in the first place. Similar to insider traders. Borders aren't going anywhere for a while. The real question is if these people have this money that are scared that it might be taxed or prevented from going out of the country. How did they make it in the first place? The points you bring up have to do with people which do not want to support the society in which they live. They want to take more of the pie and bitcoin is an avenue for that at a larger scale than before. I'm not looking for moral high ground here, but i just don't see how it benefits the regular population. Ladies and gentleman, time to buy, it has been noted that suddenly bitcoin will solve the US health insurance problem. Right... Smuggling will always occur before and after bitcoin. |
People are happy to pay for internet service. If government was delivering value, then people would be happy to pay for it... alas, most of your tax money goes to blowing up brown people and paying off political allies than actually providing any services.
I always love the "if you aren't robbed as much as I think you should, you are stealing from me" argument.
Everyone who buys bitcoin today is an early adopter. We have not crossed the chasm. but we are getting close.
How people make their money is none of your business. And you legitimately cannot move large amounts of money outside the country without being spied upon. It's not a question of the source of the funds, but the government trying to control the flow of resources out of the jurisdiction as a result of their terrible management of the economy. That's what exchange controls are all about. Delaying the collapse of a hyper inflationary currency.
Yeah, you think people wanting to avoid theft are greedy, you're wrong.
You're not even responding to the healthcare point, misrepresentation isn't impressive.
Really sounds like you have a major axe grind, but I gotta tell you, buddy, so long as you go around thinking other people are your property to enslave you're going to have a bad time.
Bitcoin is liberating us from authoritarians like you.
