So far, this is the most ironic post on this forum.
Bitcoin ==> Decentralized, anonymous, transparent, peer-to-peer, electronic cash, fully owned by users, freedom, with appreciating value, etc.
Central Banks ==> Centralized, paper bills and metal coins, owned by the state, value determined by the central bank, with powerful third-party players, depreciating in value, bound by rules of the state, etc.
Therefore, Bitcoin =/= Central Banks!
How could we then promote Bitcoin to its truest sense at the same time please the central banks and the governments? In the first place, Bitcoin was never made for them, it was made for the people. It was not made to support the central powers, it was made to give freedom to the people. It was not made to make these central bodies stronger, it was made precisely to dismantle them. It was not made to preserve the status quo and keep the system intact, it was made to disrupt the system.
hate to tell you , but it seems bitcoin will be dismantled before it even begins to try. Two large populated countries of the world are exactly averse to it for the exact same reason. added on top if it is the anarchic idealism with silkroad and other stories that just paint a bad name beyond any repair, add to it the ransomware. people in power of Governments know how to manipulate people and bitcoin just handed over them in a platter of how bad it is.This is the problem of decentralization and how things die down.
If ever bitcoin was a private corporation , the marketing strategy could have been very different. They would have started with hype about blockchain on how it will help reduce corruption, help states in logistics and reduce crime, bring about financial inclusion and then somehow present bitcoin as a fuel or token to the system that is necessary for the blockchain to function , there would have been a greater chance of its success.. But the reverse happened leading to its eventual doom.
at some point people have to realize that there is something called a internet kill switch and states can switch it off if they wish. then it would have given some clear understanding of who is in power and how to make bitcoin survive in such a world.
