I still do not understand the current obsession with regulating Bitcoin. They claim it's to help put an end to online money laundering and other cyber crimes but why aren't they equally obsessed about Fiat?
What if there are hidden agendas, like phasing out paper currencies, forcefully uniting all countries and handover control to more evil entity?
I have some paper money on me that I can EASILY use to buy some harmful drugs and weapons yet no Northkorea-like government is monitoring how I spend this money. A responsible government would rather be where the stuff are purchased and help solving crimes. Trying hard to Police everything (without caring a bit about the word "privacy") is a sign of desperation & tyranny.
I learned they are working hard to phase out cash for their cashless agenda. I bet over 70% of World governments will adopt the cashless thing too.
I have never used a Debit card online not that I understand it .. it's b/c it doesn't feel safe to me. My adoption of online currency started when I discovered Bitcoin. Bitcoin/Blockchain is the only thing that makes sense & feels natural to me. Wonder why they are now trying hard to rewrite Bitcoin with some rogue codes.
You have to realize that if you don't live in the states or in some country that doesn't really matter for geopolitics, you are 100% experiencing some form of government overreach and an attack on any freedoms that you have left for yourself in your own country. All over Europe, governments are expanding their control over the daily citizen's lives. Canada too, many other Angle countries have similar policies in place.
You have to realize that at this point, countries exist for money, and money alone. There is nothing that is done to secure nation-states anymore and as long as you are a taxpaying cog in society you mean nothing to the government. That is the world in a nutshell now; separated only (in name) by borders, with international trade being commonplace and something no-one wants to disrupt. That is why they seek to control and regulate Bitcoin, so that they bring in the money and still force you to play the game.
