You live and die by what governments do now.
Yes.. governmental decisions have effects on the lives of people in a variety of ways.

I agree, but every day here in these forums there's at least a hundred posts that insist that "Bitcoin cannot be controlled by any government" LOL.

Inventing "some kind of bitcoin plan" is not going to change its basic nature, which is slow and expensive by design.

If you know about bitcoin, then you figure out whether you are going to invest into it and how much.  If you choose not to invest into bitcoin, that is your choice, and it likely will have negative consequences.. but sure, I don't know the future, so it is possible that you will end up being better off by not investing into bitcoin as compared to the ones who choose to invest in bitcoin. 


Yes, maxis gonna maxi Smiley. Bitcoin is only imaginable asset than any human being should invest in right now. You're not saying that because your entire net worth is based on your Bitcoin holdings of course Smiley.

There are lobbies in all kinds of sectors.  You believe that if I own bitcoin, then I am supporting the bitcoin lobbyist through my having had bought some bitcoin?  Or are you wanting to make some other point?  Are you suggesting that I need to act in some kind of way in response to what some bitcoin lobbyists may or may not be doing?


I didn't mean to ascribe any of these sentiments directly to your actual person--if I gave that impression that was a mistake on my part. Clearly the broader community has gotten into bed with the US government now, but that's not an individual judgement.

I have other investments besides bitcoin.   

Wait, WHAT??

You said that investing in anything else besides Bitcoin is stupid. It's "shit" as you keep calling it, over and over and over again. Why, believing what you say you believe, would you invest in any other instrument besides Bitcoin?

Are you trying to tell me that there's some kind of remote chance that Bitcoin might... not pay off as an investment? How... UNmaxi of you Smiley.

Next you'll be telling me that maybe, just maybe there's an actual valid reason why El Salvador might look at other digital currencies besides Bitcoin... We're through the looking glass now, so why not?  Cheesy
