When you have a problem with your US Dollar, SOMEONE is responsible.
When you have a problem with your Bitcoin, NO ONE is responsible.
"Ok" you say. "What's your point?".. **WHOA**
To think I would make a thread without a point.. to troll.. to draw attention toward myself... Is that goal merely all I sought in sharing this opinion?
NOPE.
This is a HUGE observation.
BITCOIN is a currency that has NO CENTRAL AUTHORITY. This you might know, as most do, but do you know really what this implies and how this is NOT to your benefit?
Now you can respond and say I'm crazy, or you can actually think it through. Is this really better?
If government and people were ONE... the US dollar would be perfectly fine.. but BITCOIN being the solution? No I can't imagine that. I'm so sorry. You personally might be finding a use for it but that does not justify it on the level I am speaking.
Think about this: If the United States is failing, how is Bitcoin going to succeed? and why does the United States fail? because the people are failing. The very people you trust to manage their own Bitcoin based world. People will always be people! Bitcoin is no exception.
There *ALWAYS* need to be someone or something responsible for everything.. Bitcoin is chaos. The United States is Chaos. Why? Because people are Chaos and do not generally look for collective solutions unless a shallow inward incentive is sold to them. A shallow interpretation of freedom is that very incentive peddled upon the ignorant majority, employed/preached in every system doomed to fail.
I'm sorry Bitcoiners.. this is not going to work out logically for you.
Is it not even more complicated? The one you deem dollar responsible: Can he push the responsibility to the next person if he fucks up?
Can he fuck up with intention and then push responsibility?
Can the one who gets responsibility continue that schema. Or assume that it is ought to be this way?
It seems that the general discussion here is centralisation versus decentralisation which is as good for a debate as christians versus atheists.
Or am I off point?
No, the united states failing is by no means shure, nor that it would be a succees for bitcoin.
Personally I suggest you can already see how bitcoin is a success. I do not see it requiring any special size for it to be a success.
Bitcoin is not just chaos. It is self organizing chaos. Best solution to a problem will prevail. It is the best solution for the moment or it will be replaced as part of the problem. I see that this can be somewhat a article of faith. But so is any centralized goverment.
The funny part is that it is not mutually exclusive. At some point in the future i will have to seriously ask myself:
Is bitcoin running ontop of a centralized world or is a centralized world running ontop of bitcoin.
