Will Satoshi be happy about the idea of the government to adopt Bitcoin & using it as reserve?
Sincerely I have had this thought come to my mind few times and I wanted to put it up here today to see what fellow Bitcoinist thinks.
There are many more experience Bitcoinist here older than me in the game but for my best knowledge so far are in the quote down.
Creation of Bitcoin in 2009 was a direct response to the 2008 financial crisis, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional financial systems.
Launching bitcoin was to create a peer to peer payment system which would be way better than all the existing forms of payment methods.
The digital currency was intended to provide an alternative payment system that would operate free of central control but otherwise be used just like traditional currencies.
A decentralized form of digital cash that eliminates the need for traditional intermediaries like banks and governments.
Now that financial institutions and government are becoming interested in Bitcoin, which we all know how this is going to look like on the future. They would want to take control. If Satoshi is still alive, how would he feel and what if he wakes up one day decides to do what I don't want to imagine about?
t's a good thought ,Mrbluntzy. Satoshi's goals were to create a better, more efficient payment system, not necessarily to prevent all government interaction. Perhaps government adoption, even with its potential downsides, could be viewed as a testament to Bitcoin's success in achieving those initial goals. It forces us to reconsider what true decentralization means in practice. Does it mean complete absence of interaction with governments, or does it mean a system resistant to complete control by any single entity? The debate is far from over, and the evolution of Bitcoin will continue to shape the answer
