the state is just a bunch of people doing what they know to be good, a little education and an investment in Bitcoin will help align self interest with public good and heal any perversions we see today.

Could not disagree with this more.

Gold bugs have spent 100 years knowing they are "right" and waiting for everyone else to education themselves understand history and see the light. Never happened.

In the meantime the state resorted to banning private possession of gold for almost 2 generations in order to break the public's view of gold as money. The state will fight Bitcoin just as hard.

Harder to do that now with 99% of Americans on Social Media

Most twitter comments don't focus on concepts for money. Most seem to be about Kim Kardashian and pictures of dinner.

I fully agree with you that social media should help with education, I'm just trying to point out it is still extremely difficult, maybe we can cross the education hurdle this time, but maybe not.

Trying to educate people in technical stuff is worthless. Bitcoin will be a success when the kardashians use it to buy dinner and tweet about it. Then maybe, maybe we will be rich with our current smalltime wallets.
