Are we are going to have to wait for a generation to die and for millions of lives to be lost (indirectly, say, through a demagogue's botched response to a pandemic needlessly leading to the infection of millions) before the average pe

Exactly, now you see. The exchanges are also the enemy. Bisq is a start at trying to make something like Local Bitcoins WITHOUT a central authority. Coins that aren't centralized in a single location can't be stolen in the first p

Actually the transaction fees accounted for over 12% of the block reward for block 630000 Also, it may help to think about it this way: you don't mine the subsidy, you mine the transactions and reap the transaction fees. The subsidy, w
