- gtirloni 13y agoExactly. I don't understand how people can be so naive. The "freedom fighter" and "fighting the man" themes are going down the toilet so quickly people don't even realize. Many people, including these self called entrepreneurs, are jumping in because they see an opportunity to make money. Plain and simple, they couldn't care less about Bitcoin, privacy, fighting the man, whatever. People should be angry the established monetary powers are taking an interest in Bitcoin. At the end, Bitcoin will be just another currency the powers at the top manage, make money on top of it, tax, etc, and what will remain of it?
- drcode 13y agoNo, it's just one decentralized clearing house of many that will spring up.
- chipsy 13y agoEssentially everyone trying to offer services that "improve" Bitcoin is putting themselves in the game to monopolize it. The good old Microsoft "embrace, extend, extinguish" applies just as well to it as to any other technology.
