Transactions in bitcoin, eg sending a bitcoin from one wallet to another, occur on the blockchain and are decentralized. The fiat value of bitcoin, however, is determined by supply and demand for that bitcoin-fiat cross, just like anything

Wow, i never considered this but it makes sense and i imagine is very effective. Do you know of any well documented cases of this (though by its nature, any case of this is probably not well documented)?

This sounds more like a fault of the parents than of the society. "The Constructs of Society" seems like too vague a notion to be able to measure or determine its impact. A person may be dissuaded from pursuing something because &
