But when people talk about money, brains hasten out of the back door into the woods, never to be seen again in the conversation, and everything that is considered a given and completely normal in real life, is suddenly turned upside down.

I think, in a well articulated nutshell, you have just encapsulated Cryddits concerns.

I know this is a speculation thread and everything, but who amongst us, that aren't just here for the quick buck and who actually 'believe', hasn't had concerns over how something as pure as bitcoin could be commandeered by influences something less than benevolent ?

I am here for a really huge quick buck which will only be possible if my belief in the bitcoin fundamentals are correct and obviously our Great Leaders won't like something they can't control. Does that count?

So long as you aren't trying to lead anyone up the garden path on the way, then yes, I can't see why that wouldn't count Ibian.

After all, your belief in the bitcoin fundamentals and your making a really huge quick buck are not mutually exclusive.

But pssst ... when you cash out don't cash out to dollars hey ? Maybe property or something.

I follow the SSS method. Small part fiat for actually living, mostly bitcoin. Forever and ever. Unless we hit millions and what a lovely problem that would be.
