the smartest man and most respected scholar in the world has spoken. Bitcoin is bad. You chuds need to trust your governments to print as much money as they see fit. the ignorance of the bitcoin and crypto currency community knows no bounds....
Yuval Noah Harari has openly stated his dislike for bitcoin (BTC), the cryptocurrency developed by the anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. “When I look at bitcoin as a historian, I don’t like it … Because it’s a money built on distrust,” Harari explained. “The central idea of bitcoin is that it is basically electronic gold, so we don’t trust banks, the governments, so we don’t want to give them the ability to create as much money as they like, so we create this bitcoin.”

The historian added:

It’s a currency of distrust. I do think that the future belongs to electronic money but what we’ve seen over the last centuries, is that it is actually a good idea to give banks and governments the ability to create more and more money in order to build more trust within society."
