This. Bitcoin is the only hope to scape the bankster mafia. If we have a mentally retarded population in the first world that will stick suck banker cock for some decades, at least outside our borders people will find use on BTC.

For most people on the planet today, the world already is shit. If it's not to you, congratulations now check your privilege. For the billions of poor, global capitalism is sucking the life from them.

Not so long ago the average person would believe that the loss the Divine Right of the King, and subsequent (ongoing) slow death of religion would be "the world going to shit". All the fruits of the age of reason would have been forsaken if the nobles and priests of the middle ages could have prevented the failure off Divine Right.

They could not prevent progress then, just as the banksters (our modern "nobles") can't stop bitcoin or the slow death of capitalism in our generation.

Just briefly glancing through here it seems like anywhere from 15-25% could be diagnosed as morbidly paranoid, with 5% of that as full bore schizophrenia. There's also a great deal of mania in this forum, with the other subforums exhibiting mania/depression or both depending on the subject. It's difficult to parse through a forum but it just seems like an unusually large number of posters here are suffering from some combination of narcissistic/victim personality disorder, either resulting from social isolation, autism spectrum diseases, substance abuse (perhaps bitcoin's primary use) or PTSD.

Has anyone elucidated the link between bitcoin and mental illness? How many people here got involved in bitcoin because you couldn't function in the normal economy, or in society at large? I'm seriously asking because the idea of a currency that specifically draws the unstable members of society is fascinating from a social psychology perspective. There are certainly a very high number of sociopaths leading the bitcoin community (which explains the continuous scams and thefts of the beta member resources). Anyway if there are any normal members here you might want to commission a social worker to survey this forum for potential suicide/homicide risks or a psych researcher to try to and determine what factors of the bitcoin system are selecting for dredges. Cheers!
