The aspect I like most about bitcoin is that it is not controlled by any government or one specific political philosophy....It is an all inclusive platform and doesn't exclude people from participating in the network....I'm not worried about the elites manipulating bitcoin because Pandora's box has already been opened here and it can't be stopped now....It puts the control back into the hands of the people who actually own the money....banks must hate bitcoin!

If the block confirmation time is long long, many people will not use bitcoin.

It's worth noting here that the block confirmation time for a privately issued no-cost currency (fiat) is infinite.

There are no public confirmations ever. And yet, people still use them. Go figure.
