You mean a free market where everything is a competition.  But how is it going to help with bitcoin? I think that is the real question here.
Well, a competitive market with online shops could be one. Those who could open up with a bitcoin transaction immediately could end up good in the future. Just like what happened now, think of those who opened up their website wallets first and been running until now. I think they have better profit than most of us here. The great think is they did take the risk and now taking the reward for that.

Addressing wealth and wage inequality is the best means of promoting socio economic hierarchy in my opinion.

Productivity and technological gains afforded by automation are at all time highs. But the benefits do not trickle down.

Capitalism is but a scapegoat within the grand scheme of things.

People should promote local products and be proud, it would a good way to have economic progress for any country. Stopping capitalism will help to balance the socio-economic hierarchy.

There's  nothing wrong to promote local products and make proud, but it depends on the quality of the product.  Well, I can say that  in my country some products are local.  If I want to buy branded,I will go to the store relatively expensive.Those goods may satisfy human needs but those needs will not be met if people do not have sufficient money.





not only quality but a large quantity, like for example in china they can make stuff in a very large quantity with very low cost, this isn't possible in many other country, and also availability, some products are not available in some country, and this force us to buy from another country, these two points are very difficult to overcome imho

People just want the branded products from abroad without thinking to develop local products. Families public officials are also doing the same thing. Let us not always think about the quality of goods from another country, you are not aware of the quality items they mostly take the raw material of our country.

If you often use foreign products and overly consumptive. unconsciously, we automatically have become the ambassadors of capitalism.

You make it sound like Capitalism only exists if a Corporation is involved. This is entirely untrue. Your local shops are creating capitalism in your town or village. Capitalism starts small - one or a few businesses selling goods to their local community. The growth comes with how successful each business is and their desire to expand operations.

Capitalism is the only economic policy that creates more economic activity, naturally. One company opens up and all of a sudden you need another 2-5 companies to support it - there are product suppliers, cleaners, delivery trucks, business operations services, etc.

Capitalism is the tide that raises all ships.

Capitalism to me is still the best form of economic policy no matter how people paint to be bad. When some people try as much as possible to have sleepless light and later got successful then decides to change cars or live in expensive mansions then you see the community coming out to say what of the people that cannot afford one, but the issue is what were they looking when others are working hard to be successful. Thats what capitalism preaches to me that in as much you can work hard then you can be rich if luck is on your side not the economy that will restrict your growth at the expense of lazy people in the community...

I totally agree with you, indeed, I think using an isolationist economic policy (like Donald Trump) is not a bad thing for a country. Globalization and capitalism are bad for the world.

I doubt promoting local products is effective way to curb capitalist society. Capitalism is a gift of over and over practices and cannot be eradicated with such small efforts. I know you meant that promoting local products will help decent native manufacturers to make some profits. But in the wide scenario, MNCs have already seized the whole market, they even entered the local markets and producing products under their name.
"Colgate selling neem-enriched toothpaste." Is a good example how these MNCs are taking lead over local producers,

It is good to promote local products if those are quality products but its sad to say that in my country local products are usually not of good quality and thats why it affects the name of quality products that are locally made. Another thing is that locally made products lacks promotion and are not known nationwide and its market is very few. Compared to big companies that are backed up with huge funds for marketing and sales it is much known and well bought by the masses.

Capitalism is just like democracy, it's not great but less worse than the last few we tried.

I have lived both sistems in two different countries and I can tell you without economic freedom there's not even a small chance for countries to develop, I wish every progresist kid out there would experience socialism himself before embracing it.
Socialism is opium for the masses. People embrace it because of a number of facts, one being that it's easy. It gives people their share and doesn't seem to require much from them.
Living on social benefits instead of competing in a free market can feel like a better and easier life, but it's not.

There will always be more poor than rich, just like in the old days there were less lords than peasants. Every now and then the peasants will rebel and take the estates for themselves. They will try to create the society governed by peasants, where all people are equal. After some time they will find out equality is a myth because one peasant will work harder and be more innovative than others, which in time will lead to that innovative farmer becoming the richest and able to buy other farmer's lands. Next the smart farmer will start employing other farmers and they will leave their small fields unattended because helping the smart farmer will give them better profits, and smart farmer will buy them out as well. That's how socialism slowly turns into capitalism.

Completely agree with this. Communism ignored one of the basics of human psychology - the need for control. Just looking at a child throw a tantrum when you take its toy should make it clear to anyone. People will work for what they want and people would always want more than they currently have. Take away this incentive - give them fixed amount regardless of how hard they worked, will cause them to just do the minimum required of them or even worse. "That lazy guy over there is getting as much as I do, why should I exert more effort?"

I am agree with you that each country have to develop it's own products and manufacturing in general. I think that would make the life inside of concrete country much better. Capitalism today makes rich and developed only some of countries in the whole world and out her countries are staying without it own's wealth.

Bitcoin is based on capitalism, since I'm pretty sure all forms of socialism are based on centralized control of the means of production. Meaning banks and currency would be under that control. Capitalism is really just freedom. Freedom to do what you want and freedom to discover and find value in things. The fact that we find value in Bitcoin is purely capitalistic in nature because there is no coercion.

If you are not able to live in a capitalist world you aren't able to live in any other kind of system. The only system prooved to give opportunity to all to have prosperity is capitalism, all other junk people say is lie.
Is the problem the corrupt governments? No, the problem is the nation that is corrupt and vote in corrupts.

Well it looks like most people on this forum (a forum about money) are capitalists.  Shocking.

Other forms of economy have failed, like communism.  I have no doubt capitalism will survive.

People should promote local products and be proud
Yes, that's true, but you can be a staunch capitalist and still do that!  Viva la bitcoin!!

Humanity has not yet found a better system than capitalism. Many economic systems have been tried many times. But none of them lasted as long as capitalism.
Wild capitalism and normal capitalism are different from each other. A capitalist order in which people have equal rights and freedoms will provide opportunities for everyone.

capitalism despite its many flaws is still the system that's much of the world has either embraced or is heading for. it also gave birth to globalisation which is more than likely to drag most of the people who currently benefit back down into the shit.
