yes

any laws can be a downfall to cryptos, it's the perception of the validity of those laws that matters

and if u can enforce them

think of piracy of video content in the 90s

sure...it was illegal

it just got pushed underground

but so what

I personally think the downfall of crypto would come from microchipping.

so how are cryptocurrencies going to be served by being relegated to an underground currency?

Otherwise, it's like any other tool. (guns)

For microchipping to work they have to convince you of the security it provides, but a catalyst scenario will likely have to happen at a mass scale to justify it to the masses

if amazon would start taking BTC directly, or any of the various cryptos currently available, it would make checking out of the system a snap

Yea

Convenience alone wont do

oh you mean like a new Pearl Harbor?

the anonymity of asymmetric keys, distribution of ledger eliminating the needs for central authorities, and the construction of chronology of transfer verified by computational competition

or in this case a new 9/11?

yes

people are very reactionary

here's the thing, i have a practical model for changing society

and trustful 😦

it's easier than you think

lets hear it

you simply check out

no bank accounts, no credit cards

work for yourself

yeah it's hard, but i did it

lol, true

@chumba same

sort of fumbled my way into it, but i ended up where i wanted to be, although not in the luxurious confines of a swank home

i pay no income taxes, i pay for nothing i can't get away with

my only one guilty admission is i have a verified walmart money card, which means i registered it with a social security number

i see potential in organizational efforts of a tangent economy

i didnt 3 years ago

but other than that, i use paypal for payment from indirect transactions, transfer that to my walmart moneycard, and withdraw to cash

New Cryptos thru corps backing are being pushed by Financial gurus: Ie Jim Rikards. When you become a trusted authority, majority will follow. We follow Q because he has become one to us.

if cryptos would be accepted like paypal today is accepted, a "breakaway" society could be achieved

my primary rule of navigating american society is to NEVER VOLUNTEER MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

paypal will suffer a bit once Ebay cut their ties with them (not relevant to discussion)

the thing is, there is already a breakaway society....but it is reserved for the elite and powerful.

by doing so i do not contract with my federal person, i do not take benefits from the government
