Topic: "First they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us, then we win" (Read 409 times)

Yes it is really that they used to always scoff, laugh. But those who loved or supported Bitcoin believed that they would one day win. And now they win the war. Bitcoin has not yet fulfilled its expectations, but will fill in the future.

I think this is something we should happy at. This is the win of bitcoin over hundreds of nations, millions of people. Andreas M Antonopoulos has very well said , considering ourselves as a part of bitcoin, he said first they ignore us means that people initially ignored bitcoin and they laughed at bitcoin and then they will fight against bitcoin and in last bitcoin will win and we are at laughing stage and I think our victory is not so far we have to fight for some years only for bitcoin .

fate we can not avoid if we are not wrong why we are blamed, bitcoin is a form of technological progress in the future and those who insult it because they do not want to lose control of the currency they have

slow and steady wins the race.  more and more people are coming into the fold of bitcoin.  the number is increasing day by day.  when people will find crypto more profitable ; when they find it easier to transact then definitely they will start transacting via crypto only.  After the people start using crypto and so as a result the usage of fiat currency will decrease day by day.  This day by day decrease of fiat will finish the fiat.
So if bankers are laughing at bitcoin at present; then they shall keep them ready for a fight; and win for bitcoin.  Though I myself being a banker feel some sad that banks will finish in future but it is true that bitcoin will be better option for people in the times to come.

Definitely, bitcoin will win all the battles for cryptocurrency. All the negative talks against bitcoin are the necessary speed bumps on its way to prominence and mass adoption. If Bitcoin weren't coming to destabilize the ancient financial institutions and their banking cohorts, nobody would be sticking it. While growing up, we knew a tree with delicious fruits by the array of stones lying at the foot of a tree after the stones would've been thrown at tree to get its fruits. It shows how interested people are in that tree. So also is with the Bitcoin. Nobody throws stones at tress with worthless fruits.

This is a great speech and this things happen in every case. In every case when you introduce a new thing to the general people then they laugh at you without understanding anything. People do not accept unconventional fact. When they see that gradually it become important then they fight against you. In this fight some will join to your group by understanding the importance of your fact. And finally some will loose. In the case of bitcoin the same thing happen. Finally we will win an laugh at them.

it is in nature of some people to deny the inevitable. they get caught up in things that are temporary and then lose sight of things that really matter such as the fact that bitcoin is the only decentralized border-less currency that exists and it has a limited supply.
right now everyone is too caught up in the price drama that they don't pay attention to this.

Andreas has perfectly described the current situation.But just a small chance that he described that we are in laughing stage in 2014 and now in 2018,we are in the next stage of fighting.Just the final stage of winning is to come.But the bankers would not let us easily to win.

Yes of course we win, because this is what happen and proven that Bitcoin is doing incredibly well. We cannot deny the fact that big countries are now embracing cryptocurrencies. And we're looking forward and hoping for the worldwide adoption of cryptocurrency.

Nowaday the world accept blockchain. 4 year ago no one could think bitcoin will be the factor which change the world. And now most of people are wrong. Bitcoin is the leader of new trend.

This is the reality and no one can stop it, Bitcoin has come this far of existence and proven to have potential profits and ease to use. Because of its blockchain technology Bitcoin boost its popularity and makes lives even better.

This might be his thinking but seems to me many people are in it to make fiat profit.

it's all because we believe in the use of digital money for the future, and will replace paper currency and coins.

if the future still uses coins, then I pat everyone will experience a heavy burden when transacting each other.

Surely, we keep on winning.

yes it is true the world is laughing at us they were laughing at us when people invested in bitcoins but they didn't when the price of each bitcoin had hit 20k
they were laughing at us when they though our money will go into waste as everything is a scam but look now this is the new future but still people are laughing at us and by the time they fight us we will be strong enough laugh back at them

That's from mahatma Gandhi, a person who embrace non violence movement rather than to use force against their enemy. English men thought that their movement is just a big joke, but mahathma gain monumental support around the country even around the world.

Andreas antonopolos is without doubt one of the best voices in the space. The way he uses metaphors to explain concepts makes it a great introduction for beginners. Even veterans could do with going back to his books for ways of explaining things to newcomers. We can tend to forget how daunting all the new technological concepts may be to outsiders and a voice that can transition between the two is extremely valuable

we are at somewhere between ''they laugh at us'' and ''they fight us''. I can't wait to see the next steps of central banks...

Which one? Be the change you wish to see? In any event, this singular change in the way we view money and transact is unlike anything we have seen before and because it challenges all the financial institutions currently in place it will have immense push back. Banks have all the power and money at this point in time, and they will fight tooth and nail to destroy Bitcoin. Too bad they will fail, because you can't shut off the internet .

banks dont care about bitcoin.. to them its jsut business as usual.. a buyer buys a item and hands fiat to a seller.. to a bank its just fiat moving from a buyers bank account to a sellers bank account.
no fiat is actually destroyed due to bitcoin

also the bitcoin community is not destroying fiat laws. not creating a new community of anything better than fiat. infact the community of 2009-2014 has declined and it has become mor regulated less oppositing of fiat. and more accepting of regulations while still not bothering to protect itself from scammers or others that try to steal funds.

as for banks making their own coins.. well that will have little to no impact. after all no one knows or cares about what database structure a bank has, nor the banking network security. in the end dollars and euros are still digits on a computer. that occasionally you can have a piece of paper that rpresents digits on a computer.
but if banks use blockchain. it wont make any difference to citizens. all it will do is reduce the banks running costs because they no longer need to employ auditors or security staff becuse their blockchain is self managed.. that is it. a banker blockchain will only benefit the bankers and will only be noticable by those who stand behind the banker walls

as for bitcoin being decentralised.. that too since 20014 has declined. with it turning from satoshi-qt.. to core.. things became more centralised. where there is only one roadmap that was designed by one group and anyone that loves bitcoin but opposes the one groups roadmap are to be treated as attackers and need to be thrown off the network
the roadmap only had 35% community consensus(satoshis election coded invention) but the cores group decided to avoid consensus and do a bilateral split to kick out any core opposers. yep core got to 95% by kicking out 60% to an alt by using their partner BLOQ to do the bilateral split under the trojan horse that the split was a fair election... when infact it was a deportation

there have been 4 REKT campaigns and 1 bilateral split all to ensure one team becomes the monarchy.. where the devs that are paid. who wer part of this tyranical monarchy creation are all ultimately paid by the same group (https://dcg.co/portfolio/#b)
but hey. while this is all happening.. they wanna throw some kardashian drama about unimportant poeoples glory hounding story.. (craig wright, the fraud and nobody) all done just to distract you from the invasion
