MAbtc don't worry man you aren't alone in your thinking.

Talking about Bitcoins in afghanistan? Do they even have a higher ratio of TVs to donkeys yet? Why would they need to travel 50 miles to the nearest AC outlet to use bitcoin when the only thing worth accruing them for is located right in their backyard?

You people are delusional, you cannot create an anonymous and supposedly decentralized currency and expect the masses to put their trust in it because some Bitheads hyped it up by talking shit on the governments of the world and their economies while simultaneously being slowly but surely herded into their tax codes anyway.

Bitcoin is too big for its own good, either move on or deal with the consequences

If you had been to Afghanistan you would know that in every village there is someone who has a generator that fires up his generator to charge cell phones for a small fee. There are already services in Pakistan where you can send money by sms using an old Nokia phone with a black and white screen. There is money to be made designing bitcoin programs to work with such phones, in which case it is absolutely plausible that we could see rural villagers using phones for banking- even families that have a donkey and no TV have cell phones.

Don't take my word for it, go there and see for yourself. I was scared at first going there but I was treated with more kindness and respect than I had ever experienced in the US. Don't believe everything you see on TV.

I agree with you, growing too much too fast is dangerous for any business or protocol in the case of bitcoin. I don't know what you mean by move on- maybe you are comparing the transition from fiat to bitcoin to moving to a heliocentric model of the solar system? Are you suggesting with move on from heliocentrism to awareness of our orbiting around the galactic core?
