This is why I am involved in Bitcoin:
The economy is not a machine. It is an ecology made of biological organisms -- humans. It is far too complex for any government to fully understand or improve, but governments try to do this. They play God. The result is bankruptcies, unemployment and poverty for millions of good people who have never harmed anyone.
The Clipper Ship Strategy, Richard J. Maybury
I somewhat agree. There are things the government should be involved with, and others they shouldn't. I think Bitcoin is on the "shouldn't" list simply because it allows us to vote (in a sense) on how things work and how inflation/deflation are dealt with. Everyone that has coins is part owner of the entire thing, so I view it as being like a company and we own stocks.
