That's like saying people who said that the telegraph is dead, and will be replaced by the telephone, were trying to force telephones on people.

- jakelazaroff 5y agoCrypto people aren't neutral observers simply predicting it will replace fiat, though. They are actively working to make that true. This is not an inevitable future for our society; if it happens, it will be because of activism from powerful people who stand to benefit.
- lkrubner 5y agoYour comment only makes sense if the telegram was run by a government monopoly, since fiat currency is a government monopoly, and then if people were advocating for the government to close its telegram monopoly, then yes, those people could be said to be forcing telephones on people.
