In contrast a great deal of thought goes into how much USD to print each month... You may disagree with the reasoning they use, but it's stupid to call it "mindless".
99.99% of the population that isn'a banker disagrees with mindless printing of USD's which bankers get first access to at 0% interest. if you or i go to the bank for a mortgage we get to pay 6-7%. the system as it is rapes taxpayers at the expense of banker bonuses and the game is rigged. you know better.
OK, even if you are right (you're not)... Whats to stop them making a decentralized, P2P, fixed amount of currency bankcoin? They could alter the protocol so (say) instead of all 50btc or whatever going to miners for each block mined, a percentage of it would go straight to their accounts. Functionally identical to bitcoin for end users, with the exception that conventional banks are holding most of the reserves instead of nerds
b/c the majority of computing nodes and power is not owned by bankers and they will NOT go along with enriching banks. their block chain won't get off the mark. the gig is up Man. get used to it. the power of the internet is going to take down your handlers once and for all.
btw, its happening as we speak as the Greeks are going to f*ck all the banker debt they owe.
