@vjy BTC has no border, no backing, no insurance, no guarantor... if it vanishes tomorrow (hacked, failed, whatever) no entity will replace your BTC for free.
As long as crypto currency has zero backing like this, it's not a safe currency, regardless of how many people exchange and accept it. Its next step should be insurance for holders of BTC, otherwise it is never a safe investment, especially for the vulnerable in society.
2. USD is not just pixels, that's why I said the bit about insurance & backing. This is why BTC is so weak, crypto is just pixels, when it collapses, it has no backing, no insurance. No FDIC.
Never feel you're too small to start a movement, you are intelligent, you have passions and you care about things very seriously, and I guarantee there are thousands if not, millions who see eye to eye to you. Get organized in your area. Form a movement, and most importantly enlist the leadership of minorities.
@vjy 1. How can unconditional basic income be conditional based on what state you live in? If it's unconditional, it can't be state-based by definition. 2. Unpegged currency is easily turned into worthless pixels. What gives currency its worth is a government's guarantee, that is its backing, it's like an insurance policy that conveys worth. 3. ??? What does this mean? - My landlord and grocer don't accept tokens as payment, just as I can't get a beer by paying with stones.
