Humans, is the answer. We are a very conniving, deceptive, self-delusional, self-destructive beast. I theorize that it is due to the nature of European mores dominating and setting the tone first, globally; but, essentially, it comes down t

What makes BitCoin a far greater risk than state based fiat currency is that it is based on a floating index. There is nothing at all keeping it tethered or supported. All the ragers can go on all they want, but ultimately the value of the,
