I agree with you on most of what you are saying...its about control.But guys, bitcoin itself isn't the focus here. How this whole cashless society thing has been repetitively instigated by the usual suspects is the big deal. That, and how you have to give up your cash to purchase bitcoin (which is cashless), is in itself The Scam.
This thread is not going in the direction I was hoping for. I never wanted to talk about bitcoin itself, just how like with 401K shenanigans (((they))) want you to give up your cash which bitcoin requires you to do, and how the US dollar is still accepted by 8 billion humans even through our disagreements that proceeded this whole mess.
If somebody wants to perma-ban me from this thread then please do. I don't see any good coming from my posts.
Federal reserve notes may be treated like money, but they can be demonetized at any time. 20 year old federal reserve notes are NOT accepted by all 8 billion people. Not only are they worth less than half what they were originally in purchasing power, many people flat out will not accept them as payment, because the design is different from the current design. In effect, you must take them to a bank to exchange them for the newer design notes. You will never be free and bankless with federal reserve notes.
