- xyzzy_plugh 3y agoSounds about right. I don't intersect with those folks.
- zmgsabst 3y agoI’d argue it’s a process solution to a people problem: “We don’t like how bankers do their job or their relationship with government, so the community will create a shared ledger.” All the discussion around technology is just details of that process change in banking.
- candiodari 3y agoIt's more along the lines of "most world governments are actively sabotaging their own citizens. This happens for various reasons, from corruption, to dictatorial panic, ... and Bitcoin provides payment while avoiding to deal with them" Of course that probably is not the concern Swiss banks have on Bitcoin, but it's still what they offer.
