@roflyear > You can literally buy votes with capital. That's Ethereum, not Bitcoin. > It seems like you may have a lot of vested interest in BTC. Not really. I'd like to see it succeed, though, as it can help a lot of people. > I have friends who have lost a lot of money to various schemes, and they sounded just like you sound here when I tried to talk to them about it I've lost no money on Bitcoin and I've been in it since ~2013 (I do a simple dollar cost averaging scheme to do a daily buy and when I can, accept it as payment for my services). I have a deep disdain for MLM schemes. I don't "need" it to be true, I'd like it to be true. If people fail to "get it," I'm not going to have an existential crisis. At worst, it will just confirm my suspicion that the majority of the world's population lacks the intelligence to free themselves from tyranny (ironically, by design via state education) and are forever-destined to be enslaved. I'll still be in my backyard picking vegetables. Might even have a soda. Or I'll be in some dystopian prison singing Promised Land [1] by Elvis Presley and throwing my shit at the wall.
