The thing is the principles of bitcoin haven't changed since you were attacking bitcoin.
Institutional investors who you praise don't care about decentralization, freedom, and peer-to-peer networks, the only thing they are eager for is to make more dollars. By agreeing with them, you are telling us that BitCoin is just a get-rich-quick scheme, a speculative asset with no value. Therefore, you are a troll.
Decentralization is bullshit, only ~4 mining pools control over 51%.
Freedom , where the hell to you get that.
The majority of services that let you buy or sell btc, require KYC & AML.
Only the rich can afford to mine BitCoin.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/slippery-slope-as-new-bitcoin-mining-pool-censors-transactionsThe pool will use BlockSeer and Walletscore’s labeling data, among other verified sources such as the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, blacklist for crypto to identify BTC transactions it does not wish to process. The pool also requires all miners to pass Know-Your-Customer protocols.
Sorry , but BitCoin is just a get rich scheme for the majority of posers/nutjobs in these forums,
I mean look at Wind_Fury , he is a complete and utter technical illiterate, and he thinks that $500 of btc he purchased will increase to $1000000 which would be a
2000X Gain. Be sure and hold your breath for that one.
The True Fact is BitCoin is technically inferior to LiteCoin and numerous altcoins.
But to be perfectly honest no one really understands or gives a shit about real technical performance or real economics that require real performance, people here just sprout BitCoin is the greatest and wait for the greater fool to sell too, then the price crashes for a few years, a new crop of greater fools and rinse/repeat.
Whatever nonsense price increase you get from the current boom cycle, enjoy it,
(* you have to sell it to enjoy it *)it never lasts from more than a month before the crash. And then you're waiting another 3-5 years before it peaks again.
Monitor Tether to get a feel for BitCoin price swing as they are the main idiots manipulating the markets at the present time and the one in 2017.
