Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Do some reading on what financial life is like for most people in a pre-regulation world. Presumably the post-regulation one wouldn't be terribly different.
- boon 13y agoNo one is forgetting history. I think those of us pointing out that Bitcoin enables perhaps less regulation is because it provides new technologies for self-regulating and self-organizing. n of m wallets, self-executing contracts, autonomous organizations, etc. are all paradigms that we've never seen before and solve some of the efficiency/regulatory problems of the past. One could imagine a world where the government doesn't regulate, it only provides guidelines that all people can use as a framework or template for the self-contracting they do with potential risk.
