This is just a straight to the truth post. Anyways since we are all fans of the Bitcoin thing. It is true it does offer economic benefit to many. However. Some of the ideas Bitcoin can bring forth will never be true.
People think that Bitcoin will free them from governments and corporations. This is not true at all. Will never happen. Governments and companies have had control or a say in all money systems since the beginning of time. Look at the Roman Empire and the use of metals for currency.
Give me valid proof of this statement, because after all, the decentralized system is still decentralized and cannot be controlled by anyone, which means that Bitcoin and I are only one relationship. But if you are talking about altcoins then it may be controlled by several parties.
The confusing perception is when the government controls? how and what kind of concept do they control?
Friend, if you continue to be covered by mainstream media outlets then it's only natural that this discussion will be deemed to provide something quite gruesome to anyone who has defined the concept of Bitcoin since its inception.
