Governments will surely use force and theft (taxation) to try and come out ahead... but the people will have 1000's of choices in cryptoland to always be 2 steps ahead of the gov't... Tough Call.
The government does very little for the citizens, we are their cash cow and they exist by tax extortion. All govt's are just a numbered corporation and their bond value is traded on exchanges just like our soical security number or sin number is given a value and traded on exchanges. The difference is that gov't's value is based on how much tax revenues they can extort form citizens, our value is based on earning and credit score. They derive their value because they can create the laws and enforce tax payment... without that ability, they are worth less. Of course, gov'ts are the worst run corporations in the world, when was the last time they were able to run a balanced budget and get out of debt, even with all the tax they take in they can't turn a profit. Private sector corporations are better managed and operate in a free market.
For the most part governments are always 2 steps behind the private sector, and 3 steps behind the crypto space. With all the innovation that is coming from the crypto space, for the most part, they will be playing catch up to steal wealth.
Indeed people are always ahead,I remember a few days ago bitcoin was plummeting...next day Ethereum spiked and day after Litecoin and next Ripple and now Steem Dollars/Steem.
Crypto Currencies have had a great year, we are starting a whole new ear of decentralized control... they central banks and government won't like it and will try to fight it, but there is a Force here that is going to change the balance of power.
I have been focused on the cannabis sector for the last 4 years and writing about it, now I am taking a serious look at Crytpos and Blockchain, looking to incorporate it on the Cannabis Internet.
I feel like as cryptocurrency gain more and more awareness , it will be bad from the goernwmnets side . It gives them the reason to take more back on taxes and other ways from the general public . I mean awareness is good but not by bunch of greedy people
It will just make govern-cement and banking so costly in comparison, that they will either adapt, or fade into oblivion.
Further, the number one thing about block-chain is transparency. And so, we will be taking govern-cement and turning it over, exposing all of its corruption.
Governments for sure however this is a chance for people with little money to start tapping into big money and tilting the scales away from 1% of the people controlling a majority of the worlds money.
At the same time, imagine if corporations band together and form their own cryptocurrencies. A petro coin that could legitimately take on the US dollar is a wild thought. I think raw materials producers in many industries could gain substantial bargaining power if they formed currencies unions. That could shake up government control over currency substantially.
crypto word is made for people to grow, governments are already in a very good profit and they live amazing life, with crypto we will have no wars and no problems, in the future I don't see any place for fiat currnency
yes it's true cryptos are now one of the biggest threats for govt. and bankers but trying to stop the crypto currency growth is just like trying to stop the rain impossible.
Some governments are embracing it. It remains to be seen how quantum computing will impact cryptocurrencies as they are coded today. If I were leading a government, I wouldn't be too public about blockchain research, but would definitely be putting resources into exploring and preparing for eventual adoption of the blockchain into national currencies.
i don't trust and adopt crypto if govt. start controlling the cryptos because then it becomes centralize and govt. start putting their shit laws on it just for their own sake, i am using cryptos because it's an open source and decentralize and it helps us to gain freedom to use our money and it also helps us to remove the third parties between our deals.
That's true concept I agree with this @hilarski. Crypto has powerful & strong blockchain system. Government can't stop crypto's journey. Cryptocurrency going their own way.
Even thought I think in some point in the no so near future all the money or trades will be managed in cryptocurrencies. There will have to be some compromised with respect to government.
How can the government function if they have no power over our finances?
on the other hand are we willing to close government and (I know it does a lot of bad thing) forget of all the good it provide us?
it's the conundrum of the moment...wonder what say the anarchists and libertarians? personally I think (hope) that this will be the impetus for the government the to fulfill the role its meant for without all of the overreach and corruption.
Wonderful thought off Charles Lee. Crypto is lead the market and central government try to control their way. But I think It don't do. Crypto will win the match.
I doubt it. This is probably all we will get of a pull back. Bitcoin may break ATH tonight, and if it does, its off on another bull run. (there was just too much money coming in to really see a big dip.)
It seems the government is a bit scared of bitcoin, really more than a bit. Its going to be a wild year 2018. I dont think there will be any stopping this train, but I wouldnt put it out of site that government or "Powers that be" have something in mind. There is a lot of fear mongering going on about it crashing to nothing. I just dont see that happening. I think we have as much a chance of losing the internet as we do cryptocurrency. We always hear the fear put out there like they are gonna shut the internet down. I doubt "they" even can. Cryptocurrency does seem to be on a train of its own. decentralized and powerful
You can't shut down a cryptocurrency, like you can't shut down the internet. As long as there are nodes running, the blockchain remains online. You can criminalize it, but people will still access and use it.
Exactly! This is why governments are running helter-scelter to stop crytos from growing.
Some friendly and needy governments such as that of Venezuela are completely depending on cryptos though!
This is true. Because of the value of the crypto currencies not government is overturned but everybody. Everyone wants to have atleast a piece or share of that currency. Take a look of its value for example bitcoins, its value is way very high than our normal currencies. I hope and I pray that these crypto currencies will not be abused by some or a group of people.
Crypto currency already come out ahead. It's not so far US government will introduce a crypto currency. The world is moving ahead to this wonderful technology. Nice post.
Governments will without a doubt use pressure and robbery (taxation) to try to come out ahead... but the human beings can have 1000's of picks in cryptoland to continually be 2 steps beforehand of the gov't... vital space approximately Crypto forex. correct jobupvoted. thank you for sharing one of these right post
Nobody can stop crypto currency. crypto currency has a feature of decentralization instead of government centralization currency.
So off-course crypto currency will lead.
Nice Artical with different thinking.
Almost?
Cryptocurrencies will end up playing a huge role in taking away the foundations of power for governments. More importantly, blockchain and similar technologies will directly replace the governments of the world, by providing their services in a better way.
We're seeing the birth of the future here, and we're participating in it. We're a part of what will replace other social media sites. So glad for that, glad I discovered all this.
Yeah..exactly..it can overcome governments.. people are so much involved with the blockchain that they are investing and getting good rewards out of it.. and the governments are trying hard to stop it..
Governments will surely use force and theft (taxation) to try and come out ahead... but the people will have 1000's of choices in cryptoland to always be 2 steps ahead of the gov't... Tough Call.
