Very long article means you did a lot of reading and figuring out your mind. Now the part many are caught in is price or holding. But take time to look at what Rick Falkvinge said, it's not those. Price. No. It's about using it not holding it. Why? He will tell you much like why are we on earth. It's not just to live the next day or not die, by not doing anything, staying at home. It's about living.
Here the main goal of creating bitcoin by the inventor Satoshi, is to set us free from the sinister methods of Central banking, their bailouts, their system of manipulation and devaluation of our resources (money was your store of resources earned, or sweat contribution). Now in order to do that, the system should invite as many participants as possible, relishing the benefits (fast, instant, frictionless fee) so that if we have 9 out of 10 people in a village using it, buying fish, selling vegetables, giving piano lessons to one another and paid within this system, then these people will no longer beholden to the fiat money and when the fiat institutions collapse again and again. Stocks, bonds, oil, currency, collapsing again.
Therefore start using it. Getting paid in it. Paying with it for services. For your community. What is it? No labels no names, it's not bitcoin this or that or anything. It's the cryptocurrency you will want to use among the 9 of you. You decide.
