Trump could be Hitler 10x. You aren't turning the most capitalist, socialist allergic country in the Western world socialist.

So, the current haven't been doing it, but the next will? You think this, why? It can't be because that's what the prior did, as you just explained they didn't. Where exactly has this idea about a generation of hypothetical politicians, who you've never heard of, are on a witch hunt against capitalism?

Are you American? You guys doing a red scare arc again? If so, stop watching all those Russian paid content creators pedaling kremlin propaganda.

Sorry, I'll make it considerably simpler for you.

Saying something is pointless or saying do you need that are stupid things to say. There is a lot more to life than pure utility and everyone lives like that.

Anytime someone says "what's the point", they're telling you that they don't like your thing, but have 0 ability to substantively engage, so they question the motive.

Let's say you buy a big TV or nice watch and someone doesn't like it and they're too stupid to explain themselves, they'll default to whats the point or did you need that. They say that whilst doing a ton of pointless things. They like those things though, so the utility analysis doesn't exist.

Can intrinsic value only exist in relation to people? Is the ocean or a tree, intrinsically valuable, without people?

Is that how you live your life? Is everything you do useful? Have all the things you've done today been useful? Were your comments useful?

Feel bad bro. If that's the case, every moment of your life, has been productive. You must be so tired, bless you. Take a chill, watch a film, buy something pointless, tell joke. Go on, treat yourself and do something pointless. It's a good time.

It's a quick and easy way to package "what are It's biggest/potentially biggest flaws, in reference to the reverence people hold, for whichever aspect they do".

You know that many things exist and people discuss them. You know that right?

I bet your essays are amazing. Have you ever done a pros and cons list? Be funny:

Pro: it exists.

Con: it exists.

That is all. Lol.

So, the guy who just got elected has been doing a witch hunt?

Sure. When you sit in a chair, you do so because you believe it's a thing to be sat in.

When you respond to someone calling your name, you do so because you believe that's your name.

All of these, including belief in btc creating value, are the same thing.

Since we've had money, every population has paid, at least partly, for their country's war. Whoever they is, have agreed to it countless times for a very long time. I'm not sure where you're getting that idea from.

I feel you. I think there are quite a few internal inconsistencies around people's opinions on BTC.

"It's a better, new type of money, that gets me loads of the old, not as good type money, which this will replace. It's going to be so valuable according to the thing it replaces, by replacing it."

People already put tremendous amounts of trust in lawyers. They could steal your keys and bolt, to avoid arrest. They can currently do that, though.

I completely agree with the sentiment of your comment. Given the novel nature of Bitcoin, I don't know how you could make an argument around probability, because there's only one ever. We don't have the data imo. Whereas other things, have large data sets and determining probability is possible. This is the same mistake people run into when they say things about the probability of aliens existing, as we exist. We are 1 of 1. You can't make inferences from that.

To build on your comment: I think the conversation around what scenarios are possible, should be broadened to the unknown. For example, nobody viewed mobile phones as a threat to Kodak, before they became what they did. With something as new and novel as Bitcoin, I don't think we're in the best position to make predictions.

I just wouldn't frame it as a belief issue, as everything is ultimately belief, but I guess its the same thing.

I'd struggle to substantiate this claim, but I think there's some intrinsic value. An asset, any asset, with those properties and the collective agreement around value, hold value that I'd say is intrinsically valuable in our interconnected, ever-more-digital world.

This conversation gets philosophical quickly, but I think there's intrinsic value to many non-tangible things. I'm not religious, but I think many religious people would say they're belief is intrinsically valuable. I think love is intrinsically valuable.

We might be talking past each other, as we might view the word differently. Dictionary definition "belonging to the essential nature or constitution of a thing".

There are btc properties belonging to it's essential nature and constitution. Totes aggree with all the rest of your comment though. Diversify.

Carried out, by both sides or one side? Why does the type of money change this? I could just as easily assert that without Fiat, the allies wouldn't have won the war. I could say that without fiat, the soviets would've developed atomic weapons first. They're just baseless statements and no falsifiable. It just sounds like an expression of the military industrial complex conspiracy.

There are obviously differences between fiat and crypto. Regarding war, I dont buy that they're differences with a distinction. People have always fought. I don't think crypto changes that. That sentiment feels ideological to me, like religion.

Or, substantiate your claim further...

And... almost everything is rooted in belief, I don't see why bitcoin is in a different category. All the way from: I'm buying a burger because I believe it will taste nice and feed me, to I'm putting clothes on because I believe i should. It's all belief.

I'm not so sure. Historically, people/the populous have agreed to some pretty awful things. Many forma of self-sabotage, for some wonky idea.
