If thousands of world famous and most well appreciated economists say that money can be money only if they have properties I described, and you guys keep talking of ACCEPTANCE ACCEPTANCE ACCEPTANCE... Whom should average person trust?
I repeat. ACCEPTANCE - is a result of the fact that everyone want to live the American Dream, and only after that - have dollars, spend dollars, earn dollars and so on. If I will be a new Goldman Sachs or Bank of America CEO, I would print out new dollars with my portrait on them, and also with a picture of my DICK, and guess what? All the planet will be using this crap. I can even add "In Satan we trust", "Tits or FTFO" or any other words on them, and everyone will still ACCEPT it. So acceptance mean nothing, because if Ill print my own money right now here in Ukraine, no one will be using them because Im not Ben Bernanke or Rockfeller or Obama or Putin etc. Acceptance is a result of AUTHORITY.
And.. well, ok. If all those shitty western banksters were "good guys", then OK, maybe it would be good to accept their money. If this AUTHORITY would be earned by many good deeds, OK. But how did American Banking System earnes such an authority? By telling everyone this:
"If you wont like dollar, we will certainly find a way to bomb you! So.. how about dollars?"
BAD AUTHORITY, based on the fear of death. Libya, Russia, China, all other formal "enemies of democracy" tried to get rid of dollars. Even Kennedy, their own President, tried to do so. What happened to Kennedy? What happened to Gaddafi? What is now happening with chinese oil tankers, when China government tries to do something USA dont like? You people should be seeing more in Vietnam, Grenada, Libya, Sirya, and even now, here in Ukraine, this awesome war... Why? I can tell you why - because our former president, whom I also hate as much as Putin, Obanna, Merkel and other shitty politics, refused to cooperate with global dollar system and now Russia and USA BOTH are destroying our country. Our gold were sold, our people are dying, our reputation suck, our economics is in deep ass and depends on shitty dollar more and more with unnecessary, robbery credits from IMF.
Just think of the world where governments dont have control over money, where Obama cant spend american taxpayers money on nuclear weapons, rifles with uranium bullets (Iraq) and so on. American soldiers who used uranium bullets in Iraq are now also dying of cancer in hospitals. Obama smiles, thats all. Is that a true democracy? Dont be a silly kids.
If all the world would use DECENTRALIZED SOFT, not only Torrents, but also Blockchain, on which Bitcoin is based, all that wars woould have been prevented. And oil wars too. Anywhere. Forever.
So I am fored to use dollars because if I wont they will bomb me. Bad, very bad kind of authority. In general, Bitcoin has much more realistic and trustful system, its AUTHORITY is not based on oil wars and armies. I choose Bitcoin (or at least my local currency, which is a fake currency too because they PRINT, JUST PRINT it.
Bitcoin cant be printed forever, making all its holders poor EVERY DAY. Its price is volatile, but NOONE controls it. Good kind of authority. Very good.
And still - how about the fact that, if acceptance is the main sign of money, why cant you buy something in England with polish zlotyi or ukrainian hryvnia?other fiat They are very well aceepted, but since you leave your prison area, oh uh, sorry, your native country, YOU CANT BUY ANYTHING WITH THOSE PAPERS. Acceptance is an illusion. Authority is a main reason. And dollar have very bad problems with being a good currency. And many oher fiat papers too.
Dont trust me - look Youtube Andreas Antonopoulos vids. Look Barry Silbert interviews. Look at the map of BITCOIN ACCEPTANCE IN POLAND. Did you knew that Poland is the most Cryptocurrency developing country in Europe? I guess not. Use google and REMEMBER I LOVE YOU. Even our shitty "best bank" in Ukraine Privat is now accepts bitcoins. I dont think shitty ukrainian bankers would bet on a thing that is as bad as you guys think.
