Re: Not your vault, not your money. Why some nation-states will HODL Bitcoin.
I get the idea, but that putting Bitcoin as something that helps the Taliban doesn't look good to me.
“Doesn’t look good for you”, but there’s no “you” or “me” in the blockchain, and the transactions that happen in the blockchain.
If you care about Bitcoin adoption/usage, you would show "good" usage of Bitcoin.
But “good usage” and “bad usage” does not exist in the blockchain. In the blockchain, they’re only mere transactions made by one entity to another, neutral, and censorship-resistant. If you tag me as someone who “doesn’t care” about Bitcoin adoption because of that opinion, OK then tag me.
@Wind_FURY I would say that the thing with your statement is that it is entirely true, but will be portrayed by Bitcoin opponents and the media in a different way regardless. That doesn't stop Bitcoin, but it might slow it down in so far as the skeptics get a confirmation of their misguided understanding (or simply the lack thereof) of Bitcoin and what it is all about. They twist the neutrality proposition of Bitcoin into something that is bad because when everyone is the same it would mean the bad guys are as good as the good guys and vice versa, while not understanding that (quote:) "“good usage” and “bad usage” does not exist in the blockchain".
