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."

>> No.58505872

Exactly. It's a step backward.
Gold coins were also a currency of distrust, which is why it was a major improvement when it was finally replaced with paper that read "this is definitely worth some gold, you can trust me."
And then later that paper was replaced with even better that read "this is definitely worth some paper, you can still trust me."

I don't understand why you people would want to throw all that trust away.

what i don't understand is how organizations, ideologies (and the people who align themselves with them) who are dedicated to changing the world, solving problems, etc-
COMPLETELY IGNORE the role of those same people, organizations, governments in creating and perpetuating those problems!

to my mind this is the most insane part about the last four years- with covid, the 2020 elections, the ukraine war- in every case, the partisans of the zoonotic hypothesis, the vaccine, the 2020 election not being manipulated, and NATO being a force for good, are the same people who have built their entire identities around "fighting the power" and making the world a better place.
they are arguing that the government never lies or cheats? that pharmaceutical companies and wall street have the common good as their primary motivator and not the profit motive? that the military industrial complex seeks to build peace?

it just boggles the mind- the credulity. i understand that i am unusual in my willingness to go against consensus and call out corruption and lies where i see it, and most people just "go with the flow" and trust the man on TV and think that the authority figures wouldn't outright lie- but still. wouldn't you think that at some point, there would appear a crack in the edifice of lies? i can't understand it.

growing up, my dad subscribed to Time and Newsweek. every week, we'd sit down and go through it and talk about the main articles, critically analyzing the arguments. this is a man who prided himself on critical thinking and made a career out of it.

and he just accepts all this bullshit without a second guess! and will defend it violently- to the point of almost disowning me for disagreeing about the vaccine in particular.

to me it looks like mass hypnosis. some kind of deliberate large-scale program of social engineering designed to make people dissociate.

in my opinion Hariri is just Dawkins or Degrasse Tyson v2.0, a designated public point person for a given agenda. these people are put out in front to act as lightning rods and public faces for an ideology. personally (and this is after talking to people who know him personally) i don't think he fully believes all the stuff he says in public. it's almost like performance art, like an Andy Kaufman act- he is allowing an archetype to occupy him, like a method actor.
I get the sense that politicians, CEOs, people interacting with the public in the media realm, often do this- like playing a character. this is nothing new (probably as old as the first politician cavemen, lol) but there's something different about it in the social media era. it's like people are letting the AI talk through them- they get a list of talking points, which they repeat, which the AI algorithms then repeat, which means other people repeat them, filtering down through society, and on and on and on.
it's like we're being governed by algorithmic feedback loops

what do you think Yuval Noah Hariri's internal monologue is like?

one thing i see is how strongly people react when faced with opposing points of view, especially the "true believers." this accounted for people saying antivaxxers should be denied healthcare, january 6 protesters should be locked up, etc.
it seems to be a reaction to these artificially constructed points of view. anyone who goes against consensus is a heretic, to be damned and burned at the stake.

There are many viable scaling paths for bitcoin, but you probably haven't considered any of them in good faith as a shitcoiner who narratively depends on none of them being valid so you can hawk your shitcoin. There isn't even urgency for solutions to be fully fleshed out within the next few years, so another point is there is not even a scaling crisis of some kind as shitcoin faggots commonly like to pretend.

Scaling bitcoin will require a hard fork, which bitcoiners have an autistic aversion to, so altcoins will be the only option going forward.
>inb4 muh lightning
Besides being a garbage solution which introduces many more problems than it solves, it doesn't even solve BTC scaling, because the BTC base layer is so slow that it would take 10 years just to onboard 20% of humanity to the LN, and that's assuming no transactions are used for anything else at all.
Bitcoin will eventually need to hardfork anyway in order to remain quantum resistant (IBM already has a computer with 1,000 quits, and once a compurerwith 100k qubits is built, all of BTC's cryptography will be completely broken)
Either BTC does a hard fork in the future or we move to altcoins. There are literally no other options.

>to me it looks like mass hypnosis

That's because it is.

Do you really think that the sick fucks that perpetuated shit like MKULTRA learned nothing over the course of several decades? Do you think the ultimate result of their grand analysis was that you can turn people into robots by spending several million dollars drugging and torturing them so that someday they'll maybe freak out and shoot the right person/people one day 24 years down the line when some crackhead or turbo-autist will do the same more reliably for a fraction of the price and effort?

Fuck no. The whole idea was to learn how to best control the largest number of people. The results speak for themselves. How do you spend the least money - or by inversion, make the most money - to control the most people?

Make them pay for it.
>pay us monthly to dripfeed you propaganda directly to your television
>pay us for increasingly low-quality food and chemical-shedding products that inhibit critical thinking skills and physical well-being in men
>pay us for medicines that make you more docile in order to treat the problems we caused to begin with

Whether you're a /pol/lock or not, it should be blatantly clear after the past decade or so that something is going very, very wrong. We live in the future, but our lives are NOT getting better. We're getting sicker and less capable. Our standard of living falls every year. Crime, suicide, and divorce keep rising while IQ and income keep falling. Someone, somewhere, is most assuredly fucking everything up on purpose, and nobody is stopping them.

Dullard. Medium of Exchange is a trivial use of money as transactional use carries little term risk, see: fiat value over time versus gold, BTC, equities. The chunky part of Money is the Store of Value, Unit of Account demand, as these demands can't be met by anything but an abstraction like money. BTC is a quantum leap in these properties of money, fixed in supply, stateless, trustless, transparent ledger etc etc. Compared to gold, with it's infinite supply and 2% inflation, or equities with their enterprise risk and unlimited supply, bitcoin is unmatched
