Topic: What a shame - page 2. (Read 585 times)

One of the students have a father that's a lecturer and after I got home this student told me that his father said that the government is the only thing that can decide if a currency is fit to be people's currency or not, if the government says no then it's a no, coming from a lecturer this is so sad.

His son have an interest in Bitcoin and now it's left for him to make a choice, I am only surprised how a lecturer can be this dense, something that should be coming from an illiterate.

The government knows exactly what they need to do in order to seize their citizens' opportunities; yet, they are afraid of facing reality; they do not want bitcoin to outperform our general fiat money; bitcoin will serve more purposes for the country. The government supervised people' affairs and estimated budgets, but it doesn't imply we should follow their regulations even when it's evident that they're completely on the wrong side of progress. Bitcoin is a good market project, and cryptocurrency is a welcome development. The world is changing, and we need everything positive we can get our hands on; there is no time for putting off efforts, channeling every ounce of energy into something useful. .

Governments really decide what is to be used as currency, and we ourselves don't have any controls on it. No matter how hard we push it, if the government doesn't want it, then it is still useless. Governments are powerful, which is why we can't do anything about it. That is the reason why other people are still buying bitcoin even though it is illegal in their country. They see potential in it, but they are quiet about it as they might get into trouble. What's my point? The government will be implementing those established ones like fiat, and if they see that there is something wrong with something like bitcoin, they will ban it, and you can't stop it.

It's a shame that people are still living their lives, saying, if the government says that something is bad then it is bad, government decides what's good and what's bad for it's people.

This is what I get from a lecturer of a university in my country, I was trying to teach some students about Bitcoin and crypto, I was forced to even do it because I have been busy with my business for the past one month now, a good year this 2023 has been for my business, but these students have been calling me to come and give them some lectures about Bitcoin so I did this yesterday.

I don't know if this will impact the other students too because they are all from the same school but I do hope I've not wasted my energy, I spent 2 hours talking about Bitcoin and the Blockchain.

If something is not clear or doesn't make sense, we should look for answers and not make a blind determination on it, your action can have an impact on someone's else.
The lecturer have called Bitcoin a scam and his son is lost, I still told him to do research on his own but I myself have lose interest trying to explain anything to him anymore.

UPDATE


I've read some comments and people don't get why I believe it's a shame that this is coming from a lecturer. My father was old skool too, yet he never think that paper money is not replaceable, he was so opened to new ideas and he believe that anything is possible.

As a lecturer he should believe in whatever he believes in, but stopping his son from learning about Bitcoin is wrong, as a lecturer what makes him believe that he will always be right? We were taught in school that knowledge is power and this one is stopping people from achieving knowledge.

People believe so much in their government that's why many poor people are so powerless, some countries are in a mess today because all the people believe in are those corrupt politicians leading their countries.

I read some comments and I am disappointed, many people are just buying Bitcoin but they don't understand that Bitcoin gives power to the people through decentralization, for the first time in history the government is unable to be in total control of something, that's Bitcoin.

What is shame here? There is nothing wrong with saying that the government decides everything. Can you fight them? If your country banned bitcoin, would you dare to tell people that you are using bitcoin? Like it or not, government is the most powerful agency and they decide everything in this world, against them is not a good idea.

We can't force the father here, for me that is his own opinion, and what can see, what if this father still doesn't know what is Bitcoin or still doesn't know how Bitcoin works?
These kinds of people sure are still living in the old times, and most of these are still practicing the old ways.
We should also consider what kind of government they have or which country they are living.

There's one thing I've learned over the years when it comes to the government and that's to never trust what they're saying. The chairman of the equivalent of the FED in my country said in 2021 that currency is doing fine and they aren't expecting any significant increase of inflation. A year later inflation was 2 times higher.
When the war in Ukraine broke out they said the fuel prices have gone up and they have to adjust, but a year later when oil prices went down, they kept gasoline high for months in government-owned gas stations to make money and steal from people.
We have VAT tax and the government said many years ago that it would increase VAT for a year or two to fix the budget, but then it would decrease it again - it never did. It's been at least 5 years since they said that and VAT was never decreased.

All they do is lie, all they want you is to be like a puppet on a string. If they tell you to jump, you should do anything but.

They are students, somehow they are limited to what was being told to them. We are being told to obey all the time from parents, school teachers down to the churches. It must takes more than just a discussion of what government approved and what they don't before students understand their freedom to chose.

I think the discussion should start from the kinds of money that tribes have in different part of the world. The communities just agree which is money like seashells or the  Pacific island people who agreed stone money known as “Rai” as their currency.

With this in mind, I think they will also see that anything can be a money as long as people agrees its valuable.

It's a shame that people are still living their lives, saying, if the government says that something is bad then it is bad, government decides what's good and what's bad for it's people.
