Yes, the blockchain is truly revolutionary. Yes, bitcoin is Tulipmania 2.0. Yes, cryptocurrency is a nail in the coffin of the bankster parasites. Yes, digital currency is a tool of the totalitarian tyrants. No, these statements are not contradictory. But don’t worry if you think they are. You’re just a victim of "The Bitcoin Psyop."

The "conspiracy theorists" believe that the plan is to get everyone invested in cryptocurrency, while "the elites" invest in gold and land ...then crash the coins so everyone is broke but them. So use what you earn from crypto to invest in gold and land, if you're worried about it. Problem solved!

Lol, this is what the elites have been doing from the beginning of human history. In fact, it is way easier to achieve if you are able to centralize value exchange. Anyone who thinks this probably underestimates both current power and resistance of that power. Government already owns your land, try not paying taxes and see how long you can live in the home you bought without someone dragging you out. Bitcoin has every major trait gold has only you cannot digitally exchange gold or make a modern payment/settlement system with it.

Right, but at this point I don't see them throwing us off our land IF we pay "our taxes". But if all you have is a $3000 per month rental apartment in NYC, and a new vehicle which you pay for with the money you make trading coins, and if they crash coins, you're homeless and on foot. We make the best choices we can, as we go ...and for me, right now, that means owning land and living off-grid in a very remote area of the U.S. where property taxes are only $100 per month ;)

Absolutely fantastic video. Everyone in the community needs to see this. Vote with your dollars (as the saying goes) with crypto. Invest your energy in the projects that seek to liberate and refuse to allow this technology to go against the liberty-based mission that, for example, bitcoin has. Blockchain and crypto are giving people the power to opt out of centralizations and put the power back into the hands of the people-powered market.

While I certainly agree that there is some "Tulipmania" going on, I think that there are some very disruptive applications to the technology. A few examples are
1- The embedded security due to decentralization (so no need to trust yourself or others). This has some applications for cyber contracts between applications owned by different entities.
2- Another use of this is to remove middle men in a variety of transactions. This was something not entirely possible in the current systems (in which middle-men are usually the highest cost of transactions).
I think that if these technologies continue to be used for speculation the bubble will certainly burst, however if the technology is used for it's intended purpose (which was to conduct transactions) it has the potential to be very disruptive.
Lastly, I believe the powers that be are most likely involved in creating the bubble as they have a huge incentive to make this fail, so that they can then insert their own version when they are ready.

Ha, I love the comedy and sarcasm in this post. I had a friend basically brow beat me on the idea of Bitcoin being akin to Tulipmania not too long ago, and I tried to express to him that it shouldn't be that big of a deal what other people do with their money regardless of the currency. It's costed me nothing to get involved with cryptocurrencies via Steemit and I've actually learned a lot since being an active participant on the platform.
I also stand behind the idea of not investing any more than you are willing to lose, that goes for any kind of investment.

One of the issues with blockchain, at least from the POV of gov., is that a truly secure blockchain needs to be decentralized. A centralized blockchain is vulnerable to the same attacks as a centralized database.
And how do you (the government) secure your own permissioned blockchain without giving away the very power you're trying to maintain? I believe that the beauty of the technology is that it's most secure and viable when decentralized, thus rendering it useless for governments.

As long as there is the trend of speculating with bitcoin the currency is dangerous in my opinion. You can't trust the value since it can change in a matter of minutes.
We need ro have a currency which is stable, has material worth in it but still should be able to bypass the bankaccounts.
I really don't understand cryptocurrencies at all becuase there is just too much information to wrap your head around.
Could there be a way to create a currency which is fairly stable? As long as it is tradeable someone with a load of cash can manipulate the system. There has to be a solution for that.

All the crypto's are too irrational right now; no one knows what they are actually are worth, but you can bet that their intrinsic value is much lower than their current dollar price.

You are probably right about the real worth.
The worth is just the amount of trust.
Why can't we just create a currency which you need to earn like steemit but you can't really take anything out or put something in. That way would prevent the speculating. Or do it with a 3day timer for transactions.
I live the fact that I can buy or bid on stuff just with sbd. As long as there is a straight or almost straight connection to any fiat-currency it is almost guarantied to be speculated on..

Yeah probably not currency as we know it now but certanly a token to trade goods and that is all we need I think.
In the Lorraine (a small part of Bern, Switzerland) they introduced a sort of currency which is all about helping your neighbours. Some electricians, painters and a local food store are participating and they just exchange goods for services via this alternative currency.
Of course it is not a global thing but I feel like it is a nice try to bypass the banks once again.

Some points from the video.
Bitcoin is in a bubble.
Bitcoin is not blockchain.
(Say the word blockchain and increase your company's value)
Blockchain is a new technology, and is revolutionary.
Blockchain is just a tool, its use is determined by those who maintain the network.
(Centralized governments monitoring citizens, institutions and businesses using private networks to increase their margins, etc. are boring applications of blockchain, changing the way transactions or permissions are handled by people globally and removing the need for trusted intermediaries isn't)
The blockchain won't destroy banking on its own.
Centralized governments will attempt to reign in the public and push them towards their government-issued fiat.
Even if bitcoin or crypto craters in price it will not destroy the will of those who see its value as a game-changer in the lives of billions. We need to spread better understanding of why such technologies can be useful and not attempt to just shovel them into manipulated markets with little to no understanding of the concepts underlying the systems others are telling them to buy in to.
We need current and future generations fostering a truer appreciation and understanding of what this all could and should mean for them, and not have them be burned by blind speculation and high risk plays with money they can't spare in the first place.

Cryptocurrency is the beginning of a new chapter in global economic history. The whole thing is still at its infancy stage; all bank currency in the world equals approximately 2 quadrillion USD, while the entire crypto market cap is roughly 0,58 trillion USD. Too much room for growth.
All thanks to the blockchain technology, which can be applied in multiple different aspects of society. So yes, it is a nail in the coffin of the banksters.

Good detailed breakdown of some commonly misunderstood things by the public! I believe that the blockchain technology is certainly revolutionary, however bitcoin being sold on the cme has sort of undermined the blockchain by allowing wall street to sell the futures without actually owning any of the bitcoin. On the other hand I think that the other cryptos will learn from this and strengthen themselves as a result. 2018 should be a very exciting year for the future direction of cryptocurrency.

Blockchain, cryptos and specifically Bitcoin are bringing true democracy in the financial world. Its empowering the people investing in it by giving full control. The centralized systems will sure have a problem with it because it takes away the control from them. It renders them almost useless after ruling the people for so many years.
They will try to stop decentralization with full force. But ultimately they have to give-up.
