   Nope, no country is going to give up control of their currency (except third world shitholes and EU bureaucrats because they’re pozzed).

     Bitcoin is a really important technology because it creates the possibility for final settlement between financial institutions, eliminating the need for a reserve currency system which has been the cause of endless war and tyranny.
     
     Barring a world wide extinction level event, Bitcoin WILL win, and you will win from it whether you hold any or not.

     @jr @FranckLeroy It works quite well on the long term. Which is where most fist like euros fall short.

     @stevenroose @FranckLeroy Bitcoin isn't actually a good investment, if you want to compensate inflation, lol

     It's way to volatile...

     @FranckLeroy @jr I agree this is what most of "crypto" is. But it is definitely not what #Bitcoin is. Not the idea, not how it began and I believe also not how it has become.

     I think most Bitcoin users hold Bitcoin more as a savings instrument, a little akin to holding a stock index fund or gold. While many ofc dream of wild returns, most are happy enough to not get robbed of the 10-20% inflation every year, not fuel the economic system we have today and not have to interact with banks as much.

     Cryptocurrency is a cancer that feeds on the desperation of youth and drives them into a gambling addiction. They think they are fighting against the "system", but they become suckers who fight each other in a giant decentralized casino manipulated by a handful of rich assholes: the new landlords.
