So, if "they" decide to do something with their currency, "you" would like to be able to opt out. So you position your interests outside theirs (correct me if I'm wrong). Fair enough, it's certainly your right.
But in that light, what France and Germany are doing makes sense too. At the end of the day, they too have the right to protect their collective interests, correct?
Or would you have them do something that goes against their interests so you would be able to protect your assets?
- justinzollars 7y agoI'm pro innovation! I can not understand why entrepreneurs have such targets on their back these days on hackernews.
- aduitsis 7y agoWell, I do respect that, and being in favour of innovation is certainly desirable in many contexts. On the second part of your comment: I suspect some tech companies were given a while lot of leeway in many aspects by society at large, because it was generally believed that they would act in a more responsible way. Now, we come to the realization that maybe some of that leeway was misplaced. There's another HN article in the frontpage today that basically floats the idea that Big Tech is a menace to Democracy itself. I think that's partly the explanation why people (and nations in general) are so suspicious of Libra.
