LOL, no one wants to
research a f*cking currency they're paying for things with. What planet are you on?
I see this same rant on digital privacy forums
so often that I would no longer believe that that was what I was looking at
unless I saw a post to this effect. It always boils down to the same drawback; people do not have the time to invest in learning the details of every little thing they do. With computers, they just
want them to work, they don't want to spend weeks studying the mechanisms of a Linux distro just so that they can check their emails and do online shopping without telemetry (the same things they were doing with practically zero learning curve on their MacBooks and Windows Laptops). And who can blame them, in an average day it's enough to fit in your work, maybe some study, cooking, washing, socialising etc. etc. Unless one foresees a guaranteed benefit for that kind of commitment, it's going to be an "I'll leave that to someone else" write off.
No one
ever needed to
research a piece of paper or metal that was given value by collective agreement.
Which is exactly why cryptocurrencies are never going to become mainstream or adopted for widespread use; no one trusts them but the people dedicating their time to learning about them (which is a negligible percentage of the western population).
We'll be living back in the wild west, trading rabbits for guns and ammo before "
Bitcoin" and co. ever become established. Or living in some dystopian sh*t-hole with a
validated digital currency tied to your
social score,
compliance level and
hygiene rating (aka. number of sexy new vaccines you've had), because that's the
fork in the road we find ourselves at right now.
And
lack of trust (trust, being the
foundation of a currency) is just
one reason these "rogue values" are never going to be a
thing. The second, far larger issue, is that
Bitcoin (especially) has been around far too long; I remember conversations on forums about
Bitcoin mining back when I was just starting out my exploration of the f*cked up underbelly of the internet as a new severe tinnitus sufferer with my life in suspended animation. People were making thousands just by running software off their computers and being
early adopters. Now, anyone with an intelligence level above that of the average YouTube subscriber knows, that just like with stocks, once you've read about it in the news, you're too late to the party and the ship has sailed. If
Bitcoin ever became established, we'd be making millionaires overnight out of thin air, and guess what...
people don't like that.
A bit like when you read about that couple that won £42000000 on the lottery last Friday, are you happy for them?
no, because that's not how humans work. Do the current
validated currencies make millionaires out of some undeserving b@st@rds that can print as much money as they want to the detriment of everyone else?
yes, but that's just slave mentality, because what does misery like?
And it's the
same for currency; subject to
psychology. Unless you can preach to the masses and address the two
big f*cking elephants in the roomI've highlighted above, your cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere.
This is just like our "vaccine" arguments
@Ed209. You asked me once, how did Joe Rogan prove Ivermectin works? The reply I
wanted to post: how did the "vaccines" prove they worked?
Answer:
backing.
The mainstream media
said they worked, thus,
they worked.
It is
exactly the same in this case. Get this, the MSM is owned by the same people who own the banks, and those people do not want to see a deviation from their monetary system; because that would cause a massive
shift in power (which people in control don't like: read a history book if you don't believe me,
any history book, it'll be there).
No, it will tank.
Just like I'm fighting a losing battle by trying to convince people they don't need the pharmaceutical industry to keep them alive, you're doing the same trying to convince people there's an alternative to storing their savings in a bank.

. Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and numerous other financial institutions, have been involved for a long time. You can spend cryptos anywhere (depending what country you live in). Even some of the major banks are involved. A friend of mine just bought a Mach 1 Mustang with crypto straight from the dealership, and he paid his mortgage off with it. I fill my car up and do all my food shopping using crypto. I'd be stupid not to. You get significantly better cashback rates than any other credit or debit cards on the planet. You also get proper interest for holding your money in a crypto account, unlike what the banks give you. I'm sorry, but your ignorance in this post is astounding, but it is not uncommon.
