Topic: Government always hides productive truths from the masses - page 4. (Read 769 times)

Of course a lot are being hidden from the citizens by the government. While I'd be pushed to say, the governments acts unprofessional with their governing system in the Sense that they don't consider the opinions of the masses before taking drastic actions, they're always preferred to feed the public with whatever pleases them.
You can imagine me as an individual coming from the far side way in Africa is aware that a whole global financial institution as bitcoin has a total of 21 million of bitcoin created and the developer has in time made it clear that it was for a course of scarcity so that it can be valuable and controls the global economy inflations.
This was just understood, it's also informed that over 18.8 million of bitcoin has been mined which can be tracked in the bitcoin blockchain.
Oh yes this is a transparent financial policies which interestingly, the upcoming generations can as well be liable to be educated and explain in history about the financial digital network unlike the fiats in my own country which I don't know total number of fiat being printed, how the money is being splited and how the government keep up to date to replace the warned ad displaced monies from the central banks.

I can state about the history about a global unified currency as bitcoin but just right by my door I can't tell about how my countries money is being managed and how they're being splited for utilizations.
That practically proves that there're series of things the government doesn't want us to knows.
We as the citizens might not be demanded an extreme transparencies but to some points, we deserve to know about the needful for history sake.

The good thing about internet and technology is it has increased literacy and political education. People are more aware than anytime in history. The corruption had always been rampant but now it's more talked about. The problem is the politician have no morals to change even if people know they are corrupt. The general people have to take corruption as a normal part of politicians as they have no choice.
The BrainDrain happening in developing world are mostly due to stupid laws and regulations. The government knows it but are reluctant to make a change. They are more focused on sucking in every bit of money from the general people now than to think about improving the economy in long term.

OP, the truth is that some part of the world have moved on with the mentality that Bitcoin has come to stay what most countries are looking at is the way to get more tax from Bitcoin activity in their country but African country are still confused on what to do to this effect, hunting exchange companies does not change the fact that most African currenciy does not have value and Bitcoin or other cryptocurency is not the cause for declination of most African countries currency, the oliticians are busy chasing shadow when they know what to do in other ro solve this problem once and for all, the fight against Bitcoin can not be won by the government that why the intelligent leaders has chosen to embrace the tax syastem instead of fruatrating the innovation.

The problem with Africa is that we have leaders who knows the problem of their individual countries but chose to tackle it in a wrong way, Is it not obvious that Africans problem presently is bad leadership, the failure of our leaders to initiate  a process that can stand as a hedge against inflation, it is very shameful that some countries are busy welcoming imo innovations and also modifying them as case may be while some fellows are idle fighting a technology that would have been helped to a certain level if it was allowed to be adopted freely by the citizens.

This thing you just said is the current problem Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are facing in my country (Nigeria). Our government believes that crypto is one of the major reasons why the country economy is crashing and also the local currency (Naira), which is a lie because I see no way where bitcoin will affect the economy of a country. They even went so far as to ban Binance from p2p with Nigerians, so the main reason why the government is still against crypto is still the fact that once they accept it, their local currency will be affected because of the freedom bitcoin as a currency is going to give.

and they will not get control over the citizens funds again; furthermore, the only thing that will make the government  accept crypto is if they can have control over their transactions, and this is not the reason why Bitcoin was created; in fact, cryptocurrency in general, so since it was created to be an alternative currency, I think it will be even better if the government does not have a hand in bitcoin to avoid tarnishing the image and normal function of how it is supposed to.

Most governments paid no mind to Bitcoin early on. It was just another social experiment which will fizzle out in time. Anyone who didn't invest at that time either didn't have the information or were skeptical about the network.

When the price started to go higher and the community grew, more attention was paid to it and the fud started; calling it a bubble which would soon burst taking your hard earned money along with it. Anyone who was convinced by this without doing their research shouldn't be holding Bitcoin.

The government can withhold information about the existence of aliens or cure for cancer but a decentralized network with a public white paper is not in hiding, you're just not interested enough to do your research.

OP, this is a long write up with Plethora of discussion within it. I agree with you to some extent about the fact that the African people at some point have been disenfranchised from setting information that has been going on, on the global stage. innovation and technological advancement most times comes to Africa at a later stage, however some people would say it is better late than never.  The present sanctions most government especially in Africa are throwing on cryptocurrency is basically because of the fact that they find it extremely difficult for them to use their Central Banks to control cryptocurrency, hence they decided to bring up this ideas of subtle policies that try to hinder the free flow or growth of cryptocurrency in some countries.
In as much as the government still try to hinder some of the activities of crypto enthusias, there has been a lot of African youths that have over the years built their own knowledge on cryptocurrency and other Innovations in technological advancement without the help of government. So i believe with time the knowledge so far acquired by this African youths will saturate across sub-saharan Africa.

Not really that into having that 100% transparency or whatever government been doing. There's always those things that they would really be hiding nto the masses on which it would really be something
that not shocking nor surprising. Government would really be sticking into those things on which they do believe that it is really that on their liking and if ever it turns out to be a shit decision
or thing then they would definitely be hiding it to the citizens to avoid conflicts and bashes and this is something that we hould accept about the reality of it.
Its true that it would really be better that you shouldnt really be that making yourself that too relying on what government is really that on their plays.
Better to mind on your own and hover yourself which would really be into those things that could benefit you out.

All this cryptocurrency causes fiat currency Manipulation claims by the government is lies to me. The government cannot control the bitcoin network and as such they frown towards it. The government themselves know that the paper money for the fiat currency isn’t something for the future but rather digital currency like bitcoin but since they cannot control it, they are now prioritizing the CDBC, which clearly shows that digit asset or currency is the future.

A little correction I don’t think it’s ok to call Satoshi a person, he could be an entity who knows

Even today,there're still truth,information that still remains unknown to us as citizens and individuals.One of the biggest mistakes to make in life is to depend wholly and lay so much trust on the government.
I think its okay for the government to be transparent with the public,and at the same time act otherwise.

So many governments around the world have considered bitcoin as a currency that'll disrupt economic and financial activities of the government,and that's why there's why there's the clash.
To me I think bicoin and cryptocurrencies will continue to be viewed with distrust by governmental authorities until the governments can more effectively monitor and control them.

Most nations especially in Africa lately adopted the modern digital technological, Previously we've been in the primitive and analog system and due to the hardship and lack of standard education, we've been trying to remain ignorant over Internet facilities and its networking was untrust due to underdevelopments.
The mentality was being too poor that our government could always convince us with lies and formalities just so that we don't get to know about the advents of the modern reality world which we're in today.
The impacts of the government towards us was that we don't need to know the truth so that we don't have them questioned, they refused to comply with infrastructures to enhance and build our mental faculties because they're afraid that we might be some kind greater than they may be and that seems as threats to them.
The late enlightenments to the modern and digital world we lives today has caused us setback from venturing into the digital technology systems that's how we've also missed the opportunities to adopt in investing in the BITCOIN when it was earlier introduced. Then we had no knowledge of it and the government fed us with lies that the BITCOIN CRYPTO DIGITAL FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY was a scam and as then, we strongly believed that the government got our back.

I can categorically say it that we all have that thought about "How possible can a currency be on visual system but can't be physically felt or hold as the fiats"?. We were mislead and wrongly influenced by the government that bitcoin developers were just in to steal our money with the digital financial technology format.
It was further a big doubt when the government was not in support of the bitcoin which we formally believed that the government was much knowledgeable than the masses but not knowing the government was specifically against it because it was a decentralized and non custodial financial system that they can not be politicized with their influence of authorities.
We actually thought the government has our back not knowing they were only being self centered for selfish interests.

If we watch today, individuals has been much creative enough to initiate variety of digital technologies, creativities and entrepreneurships with the potentials of enhancing infrastructures and contributing to both individual and national economy growths.
Time goes as we steps on engaging in discoveries, taking challenges with our unusuals factorizing on meeting with greater opportunities which at most privilege opportunities are of technologies as the world also advances with economy impacts.
Remorsefully, it's worth revealing that the government has been behind back hiding the necessities from us and we were being fooled with all that insights about bitcoin and the reasons why we were being deprived from learning about the new era ecosystem and adapting to the digital and technological world.

However, we've personally gone a long way of investing on ourselves intellectually and otherwise in discovering of new opportunities for greater incomes which the tasks of struggles has as much had us the morale to to ignore the government, move on to life in giving those areas which the government has sabotaged and criticized trial and behold, BITCOIN was one of a great event which the government never wanted us to know the true being of its development on how it could serve as alternative means to facilitate on making payments which is far better than the banking financial system that's centralized under their control and also the fact that it could enhance interpersonal financial upgrade which means it could as well serve as investment purposes with the potentials to enrichments.
The government never gave a damn about us as much as they feel unsafe if the masses could be confident, intellectually morals and self reliance to themselves.
It's obvious that the government is being jealous with the digital technology because the masses are comfortable with it due to the fact that BITCOIN is a self moderating digital assets by which numerous individuals do have their funds saved in the digital system productively holding for source of income as investment.
The governments now fights bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies in general because it's a decentralized non custodial digit system.
Since they failed in twisting the minds of the public that bitcoin was fake and scamming scheme, they've diverted to other dimension just to hinder the bitcoin investors and those vendors accepting bitcoin for payments with a allegedly claims that bitcoin is affecting the economy growth by having effect on the devaluing of the fiat.

I actually came up with this thread after I've put to considerations in researching why most of bitcoin Investors expresses their regrets of coming late to the bitcoin industry was because of the lies laideby our governments and also why the government is being against the non custodian financial system as bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies at large is because the government have in plan to economically imprison the people in the future but was unfortunate for them that one single individual known to be Satoshi Nakamoto came to deliver the world from such disasterous plans of the government to take control over treasures of the people.
