Cool journey of a cryptopunk, thanks for posting.
You’re welcome.
But the journey isn’t complete yet.
Obviously.
What you’ve learned is that Bitcoin is the answer to something, the replacement of conventional money, which only has value because banks and governments say so, at threat of removing it, if we disagree.
FALSE. Bitcoin was created for a very specific purpose, and it is not money at all, but a database.
So bitcoin appears to fill the gap, by being something more substantial, outside their control, that we can use instead.
This is partially correct; Bitcoin can be used in lieu of money, but it is not substantial at all; in fact, it is totally insubstantial, and its purpose is undefined, because it is a general purpose database.
But, our sense of justice still sees something wrong.
You are a Socialist. There is no “we” in this and there is no “our sense of justice”. You have your own sense of justice that you believe is correct, and other people have other ideas. What Bitcoin does is ensure that you can’t force your Socialist ideas on other people.
As stands, it doesn’t change the problem, that the Bitcoin money appears to give an unfair advantage to some, in that those who bought it first, get richer and richer, whilst everyone else, or those who commited the crime of buying it later, stay poor, or even lose, leading to the depressing result that nothing really changes whether or not we use Bitcoin, or fiat money-as-debt, the world still has all of the problems of humanity living on the backs of other humanity, whilst plundering our planet.
This is SOCIALIST NONSENSE, of a kind that is both toxic and widespread. There have been other ill informed people who tried to solve the imaginary “unequal distribution problem” and they all failed, and quite right too. Bitcoin doesn’t give an “unfair” advantage to anyone; Bitcoin is 100% fair and absolutely neutral. Anyone can use it, it doesn’t care who you are or where you’re from. It can make no judgements of any kind.
People like you, who refused to accept the offer that Bitcoin bestows made a mistake. That mistake is entirely your fault. Other people with more foresight bought Bitcoin and they deserve what they got. If Bitcoin had failed, they would have deserved losses, and you wouldn’t cry over it either, or make calls for them to be restored from “Society’s” piggy bank. You still don’t understand what Bitcoin is or what it is going to do, because you believe that it is too late to buy Bitcoin. You don’t understand math, and that the price of Bitcoin at 40,000 is nothing compared to what’s coming.
Anyone buying Bitcoin now or accepting it for payment instead of Bitcoin gets ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF BITCOIN, which are distributed evenly across all users. Only ignorant Socialists are obsessed with the fantasy of “the rich” and imaginary infantile “fairness”. The advantages that Bitcoin brings to billions of people far outweighs the imaginary “cost” of a few people becoming what you believe to be “wealthy”. There is nothing wrong with being wealthy, and it is not ideal for everyone in the world to be equal.
Your idea that “humanity living off the backs of each other” is 100% pure delusional Socialism. The market is not people taking advantage of each other as Socialists believe; trade in a market is voluntary, not coercive. There is no such thing as “our planet” either. The world doesn’t belong to “humanity” this is all irritating, boring, brainwashing.
i.e. the slavery carries on, though you might not notice, or care, if you are a winner by Bitcoin.
You don’t know what the word “slavery” means. And Bitcoin is not a game where there are winners and losers.
As such, it seems just another Ponzi scheme.
This is an amazingly, astoundingly stupid thing to say in 2021!
But wait, there is something very special happening, we saw a glimpse of it when 3Tn of dollars per month was being handed out in the earlier months of covid, by a ruthless orange renegade who showed everyone how to really fill their boots, by example.
Socialism. Never even once!
…SNIP. Garbage cut out…
That is the reason scarcity, that for thousnads of years, has forced us to invest, fight, compete, profit, beg, steal, advertise, lie, borrow, or die, is on the way out.
You haven’t got the slightest idea about any of this. You are a Socialist, a collectivist and an economic illiterate to boot. It’s very sad, but it is also illustrative of why Bitcoin needed to be written and was written.
Please be aware, in this response to your comment, I am using your words as a foil; there are many people who think like this, and your comments are essentially generic. That means it is possible to write a response to them, and be speaking simultaneously to millions of people like you who are Socialists and clueless.
It also exists to entertain and bolster the people who are not Socialists, and who own Bitcoin and who are bound to be accused of doing something wrong by being intelligent enough to buy Bitcoin 9 years ago and hold on to it. Socialists despise intelligent people and want to knock them down.
Anyone reading this who wants to understand the world that is coming needs to read “For a New Liberty” by Murray Rothbard. It will be your first step in undoing the brainwashing that you’ve been the victim of, and once you’ve read it, you’ll never look at the world in the same way again!
