Guys, in my other thread it became overwhelmingly obvious that the vast majority of people on this forum don't understand the true value of Bitcoin.
Wow...that's a bold f*cking statement.
Ok, so you state a lot of the obvious beginner stuff here. My only question, who from this community is asking for more regulation? No one here is asking for more regulation. Some of us are saying "regulation is OK" when promoted/required by governments. Those are two very different statements. We should absolutely fight regulation, we should realize that if bitcoin and cryptocurrency are to succeed they will have to coexist with the existing rule of law. As such, it would be OK for us to concede some regulation - like tax obligations - to allow governments to accept that cryptocurrency isn't bad, but is going to make payments and transactions and currency a much more equitable part of the every day life of all citizens.
