    But what you are saying is that individual drowning people don’t need life rafts, they need the people who are drowning them to decide to rescue them. It’s like telling people fighting in self defense that the only weapon they have is a bad choice of a weapon. It’s not even a take that causes pause for thought for people that are in the middle of it, it’s just like an awkwardly timed bad joke.

    I understand the weird situation you are in, you’ve been repeatedly told that Bitcoin is a vague evil ponzi scheme, so much so that you’ve believed it and started repeating it. When it turns out that in the real world, it is actively helping many people, it conflicts with the narrative that you’ve found yourself following along with, so you feel the need to brush it aside without a concrete reason as to why.

        Hopefully it won’t be too long until the robots can do everything we don’t want to do and give us everything we can imagine. Until then, it is very nice to have a currency that is not controlled by chain manufacturers.

            The problem isn’t that people have a convenient method of facilitating trade. The issue is that people obsessed with power have a stranglehold on it. Sure, in a distant tech-utopia where robots can do everything we don’t want to do, we will need no currency, but trying to get rid of currency now would just retard the process.
