Crypto:The End of Freedom

Money is freedom.

And at $19,000 which BTC just hit that's a lot of freedom

Can you pay a speeding ticket with BTC?

Some casinos accept cyber currency.

Why would anyone pay for a speeding ticket with BTC ?

That's just moronic.

They should be hoarding it.

Just logged in to coinbase and was greeted with a nice message.

They just added BCH, and anyone that held BTC since August got from the last fork.

Mine wasn't that much.

Don't expect a lot.

I think the biggest argument against his theory is the sheer amount of crypto currencies out there, not to mention the way others have skyrocketed to seriously compare to the original bitcoin standard.

Even if he was right though, it still won't matter to those of us investing in it to make a few bucks....

Yep.

Cashless presents the opportunity for that level of control.

Trading in physical media/goods allows for transactions to happen out of supervision. But when it's all electronic, it can all be traced and there is no exchange media of any hard worth, even less than the paper and metal tokens we use now.

The Bible speaks of a system where all must be marked and in the system in order to buy or sell. What else is that other than an electronic system?

Now that doesn't mean that any electronic system must perforce be evil, but that degree of control certainly lends itself to a lot of power over the people in the system, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Look at the power wielded by the howling lynch mobs on social media right now.

This is just silly.

Crypto currency is just an obvious advancement of technology.

Just like people only buy and listen to music digitally now, it is just obvious for convenience Crypto currency offers will cause it to take over.

Will the government take advantage of the ability to track purchases, of course they will, it helps them do their law enforcement tasks. Will they also abuse this info? Yes it is almost guaranteed they will.

It's just like any tech, it will be used for good and bad.
