It’s cute how you think individuals have control over central banks. I have done my research and have determined the central bankers will win. Most of you crypto lovers ignore reality. I think that it’s you that needs to do some more research. Ill leave it at that. https://reclaimthenet.org/swift-begins-preparing-for-centrally-controlled-digital-currencies/

Ok, let’s. Centralization is an aspect of fiat. It’s enforced by government control. Canada showed us their government believes it’s their money, not yours. They’ll try to win, and they certainly might. But there is no “might” without Bitcoin. Nothing else comes close to knocking over the power of government over money, which enriches them over us, every single day, forever and ever. Peace to you, it’s cute how you think central banks are good guys.

The FED controls the world money supply. If you think the US government is just going to cede control over all of that you really are making things up in your own head. We are about to fight WW3 over the world reserve currency issue.

This is exactly what I keep trying to tell you. If Bitcoin works the way it's supposed to, it won't matter what the government cedes or doesn't. It's subversive by nature.

I get that completely. the FED is never going to allow it. The United States currency is owned by the government, its not our money in any way, shape or form.

We'll see. I don't think anyone knows but that's a good bet. The biggest thing BTC has going for it is that it's not limited to the United States (yes, BTC could be government-developed and the framework they'll build CBDCs on). The biggest thing the Fed has going for it, not to sound like one of THOSE people, is the lunatics at the WEF and their web of influence. At the same time, the US gov doesn't appear to have any clue about the potential of Bitcoin and just kind of keep vaguely saying it should be regulated (how? profits? literally how?). But I do think we'll never get out from fiat in any shape or form with the regular currency we have, so it's one of the many reasons why Bitcoin. (Stablecoins aren't designed to do this and neither are sh*tcoins. They are essentially bad investments, not currencies.)

....not all the gov people are ignorant. Check out Jason Lowrey of the U.S. Space Force. Cool dude who's advising congress on the strategic value of BTC.

You really like to assume things. I never said any of that. You just made that up in your own head. That’s your problem. You’re too emotionally involved to be debating the topic.

No. I refute your point that centralization = individuals with a post about government and you call me emotional. Reality is the Canadian government seized money from their political opponents, but yeah, I’m just squawking. There’s a name for the logical fallacy, let me see if I can get my girl-brain smart enough to come up with it.

I never even said anything about you being a woman. Wow you really are paranoid of how people see you. I’m not going to get into a ideological argument. Have a nice day, Jen.

Just for clarity, I'm not accusing you of calling me a woman. I do in point of fact have a girl brain, and you seemed quite threatened by the idea that I might be using it in a way you do not approve of (which is why I assume you called me emotional when I was stating facts). It appears you have a reactionary streak I cannot control or address, so, regretfully, I think I'll have to stop replying to your trolly answers and get a new hobby.

Haha, ok. Let’s not, I don’t think you can keep up. Sorry about that.

sorry she mentioned the Canadian government stealing money from people. Only trumpers believe that nonsense. The Canadian government just took back their own money. Citizens don't own the government currencies. Anyone calling for and/or trying to take over a government is not legitimate debate. STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF!

So you think all fiat money that I think is mine is actually government property that it benevolently lets me have for now. My entire life's work can disappear in a keystroke? Now that's the kind of Bitcoin maximalist thinking we need.

Oh gosh, dude. This is so telling. Is it possible you are a pro-Bitcoin troll, beholden to cycle through all of the dumbest things anyone has ever done with money until we are all True Bitcoin Believers?
