how so, literally people choose and consensus says what the value is

doesn't make sense for our freedom

so long as it's a consensus by the people I guess and not centrally controlled. I'm skeptical that it wouldn't be controlled by a few

ok, so now we are gonna instead turn to a world that is still controlled by the wealthy and privileged

like really?

hopefully not!

i thought we just came from there

yes.

still there

its not, cryptos on the blockchain are completly de-centralized

hopefully can break free

just like we all like

I don't think so. Trump is too smart for that and I truly believe he loves the American people and wants what's best for us.

but I have a hard time seeing it

hang on let me see if I can get a link. cryptos are decentralized but can be manipulated

like the dollar can be manipulated?

it can be if you are dumb and just go in blind, its the wild west rn in cryptos

so instead of a unhackable, and de-centralized, and faster currency

we would rather go backwards to a system that favors those with the most precious metals

really?

Here is an article from Jan 2017, suggesting Trump wants to bring back the gold standard...

I love how we boast all this great tech and literally choose to live in a world ruled by the guys that have all the gold

that's the problem I See

I'm finding tons of articles on cryptocurrency or bitcoin price manipulation

how do we make it so only a few do not have controlling # shares?

so instead of working on advancing the crypto tech everyone is just gonna say, oh its hard, and go back to living while filling others pocket books

I think we will likely have and need both

bitcoin is actually a great example of what you are askin really

bitcoin is dead, died a long time ago

everyone needs to forget it

look at litecoin and etherium

they are more front runners

and research and learn, lord knows that the world would be a nicer place if people actually used their research capable brains

yes I definitely have a lot to learn. have done some learning on cryptos and am familiar with litecoin and etherium, but havent done enough research on those to know if they can be or are manipulated.

all currency can be manipulated, however. manipulation doesnt work on an educated populace

bitcoin has been hijacked by a group of central bankers, thats why its so inflated rn

they are trying to change bitcoin

thats the greatest part about cryptos, if you don't agree you can easily transfer to another

jumping back to your comment earlier- care to share why you think the crash will be in 4 days? I think the dead cat bounce may have been related and a crash is coming soon as well

you also realize that whatever happens after that is surely already planned? problem-reaction-solution?

people can wake up and use cryptos as an alternative, but most barely are aware
