@Wetrix that's no good. The grounds that control of money is for sovereign nations is bad too. All cryptocurrencies can be banned on these grounds. And I don't doubt they will ban them eventually
@mister_monster oh yeah they will ban them.
As much as I like crypto, they should be banned.
If there's anything we've learned from bitcoin it's that unregulated currency without government oversight is a bloody distaster of schemes, hacks, thefts and ponzi dumps.
@Wetrix life is a disaster of schemes, hacks, scams and thefts. That's why we all do lots of things to protect our information. Cryptocurrencies just enable people to engage in finance without coercion, from banks, governments or anyone else. In my mind engaging in commerce is a human right, and cryptocurrencies enable people to do that without restriction. I should be able to buy something from you or sell you something you want without a man there telling us how we are allowed to do that.
@mister_monster that's how it was.
But you have to realize that's exactly why regulation and institutions were made.
To many people got ripped off etc
@Wetrix
You have too much belief in system mate
@mister_monster
@nikolal @mister_monster I'm just saying there is a real that system is in place. 😊
The world existed before banks and regulation of currencies and that's what created them.
People fed up with been scammed, robbed etc without any recourse.
@Wetrix
All that I'm saying is that you should educate yourself more on how cryptocurrency things work and see what they can do if you do them properly. If you ever had bank experience you would know how much they own your life, cryptocurrencies bring that control to your hands, you don't need banks to pay or send or recieve money, thats the whole point. And there is no authority who could forbid you that.

@Wetrix @mister_monster
I'm not being agressive or mean or something like that, just saying if you learn more about it it should change your mind on how you see them, thats all
@nikolal @mister_monster nah is all good I don't mind conversation that's why we're here 😁
Where did the calling you a nazi comment come from though?? I'm completely baffled on that comment lol 😂
@mister_monster @Wetrix
Did I overreacted really? Calling my reasoning like its from nazi Germany (1930's)? Anyway its immature of him to block me before clearing this out, maybe we could find some common ground.
@mister_monster
I usually delete my notifications, although I doubt that I would be able to see that reply if he deleted his toots
@Wetrix
@nikolal @mister_monster oh OK yeah I went back to look but I think he deleted his account or something.
I must've missed the 1930's comment.
@Wetrix @mister_monster I've felt that I was put in same category as nazis, maybe I got more sensitive online as online trend dictates
@nikolal @mister_monster is OK. I totally missed that message where he said something like that.
I thought you were referring to me that's why I was so confused lol 😂
@Wetrix @mister_monster Lol, no
@nikolal @mister_monster wait what? Who did that? I have to scroll back and look. OK I'm confused hold on. 😅
@mister_monster
Maybe I overreacted
