however, all that happens already with the traditional government/banking/fiat based system don't make us start citing all the recessions, depressions, shenanigans, thefts, bubbles, Ponzi schemes, snake oil salesmen, gambling, front running, short selling, bankruptcies, inflations, deflations, monopolies, defaults, perpetual-inability-to-balance-a-budget, carry profiting, spying, overly-complex-taxes-riddled-with-loopholes, usury, special treatment, insider trading, counterfeiting, etc that have occurred, and, will likely continue to occur, in that economic system. Bitcoin is not without risks. But at least it's run by engineers in a way and to a degree that can't be said about DC and Wall Street.
