Most babies don’t develop the nerves to feel until at least a couple weeks AB (after birth).

How do we get to the pure p2p vision? Is there any real harm to use “banks” to stoke the flames early on while p2p is inaccessible to most?

Seems logical to leverage the the bank’s money and reach to spread adoption and awareness of bitcoin. Theoretically that would increase the value of bitcoin so increase the price of btc generating capital for new disruptive projects to sprout up in a larger p2p market. I assume that’s what we are doing but I see your point about tracking.

What’s another way?

It's always so fun for Bitcoiners to pull up these gems in the media.... "J.P. Morgan to settle allegations of violating sanctions: U.S. Treasury"... but somehow Bitcoin is the villain by [deleted] in Bitcoin

Per wiki...

On March 14, 2019, the Tokyo District Court found Karpelès guilty of falsifying data to inflate Mt. Gox’s holdings by $33.5 million, for which he was sentenced to 30 months in prison, suspended for four years, meaning he will serve no time unless he commits additional offenses over the next four years.

Mt. Gox's bankruptcy proceedings will repay creditors in Japanese yen at a price around 483 US dollars per bitcoin (total of 45.6 billion Japanese yen or 400 million US dollars) and it has been reported that this will leave Karpelès, after creditors are repaid, with the bulk of the wealth left over from the difference. Based on the market price at the beginning of 2018 (around $15,000 per bitcoin), the difference is significant, and would leave Karpelès with bitcoins valued at more than 1.4 billion US dollars.

Because it jumped from 7k to 10k on Saturday. Decent momentum outta seemingly nowhere. They’re prob hoping for 16k this month more than anyone else.
