  3. Wow.. I am age 41 and I didn't understand bitcoins and ether. You explained it so well!!! I see the point of bitcoin but I don't know how the government would allow it if they can't collect tax from it? Government will try to crack down like what China is trying to do. Maybe bitcoin is bigger than government in the future?

  7. It would appear that Bitcoin, Ethereum and similar, as yet undeveloped computer controlled monetary replacements are pseudo computer controlled financial platforms designed and developed thru the use of super computers controlled by super woke minded persons in an attempt to replace historic methods of monetary control by replacement thru decentralized control, i.e., government, or pseudo government. It is a device thru which control via exchange of a false sense of money-like information, controlled normally by a legal government under strict rules which cannot be changed other than by the controlling body. It requires an acceptance, without question or concern, that absent absolute legal government control under law, the device (or alleged security) is an accepted financial accepted reality (when, in reality, it is nothing of the sort). Unverified acceptance and trust are it's only redeeming qualitys. These monetary replacements will unlikely ever be accepted by the public at large. Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and other similarities will likely never replace government approved coin or paper money as weekly payment for the working public whether that be policemen, fry cooks, office clerks, bankers or school teachers. It is an exercise in financial experimentation which appeals to the exceptionally moneyed.
