Reply to comment by What-Fries-Beneath in [OC] Is Bitcoin price correlated with Google search volume or not? by against_all_odds_

Sir, when you look across the world, do you feel like governments have your best interest at heart? Highest debt/gdp since WW2. Aging demographics and rising interest rates. They are going to inflate the debt away or default there is no alternative. I like bitcoin because it lets me opt out with a portion of my saving in a money that can’t be corrupted by 12 people around a table in Washington. Im going to be paying social security my whole life and I’m lucky if I see a penny from it.

We are very privileged in the west to have bank accounts and access to financial products. A lot of the world does not have that but they do have an internet connection and can access bitcoin.

The beautiful thing is that the market will decide over time. Me and your opinion don’t matter in long run.

To some extent yes. In most democratic governments most of the people are just ordinary folk who rather than building lives around power and influence, they wanted a steady job with decent benefits. They have families which are more important to them than their 9-5. They don't want their friends and families with similarly modest lives to get fucked by the rich and powerful right and left.

Granted many->most politicians are narcissistic douchebags. Nearly ALL aspiring CEOs are narcissistic douchebags. Especially in finance. "My greatest dream is to get rich quick while providing minimal value". That's the sociopathic motto of finance.

>money that can’t be corrupted by 12 people around a table in Washington.

You prefer less people with zero oversight and far less accountability...

>The beautiful thing is that the market will decide over time.

The libertarian religion isn't beautiful to most of us. It has been resoundingly disproven by history. Regulations are written in blood.
