Hey guys what do you think the future of Darkcoin is in, say, a year or two. Will there ever be another bubble? The previous one was so huge I'm pretty sure it has depleted the lifeforce of DRK.
I guess you're hoping for a "bubble" so to sell your coins
The only problem I see with the Darkcoin at this moment in time is a lack of direction in its philosophy. Is it going to be a subversive element, a part of the shadow economy (20% of the world's economy is the shadow economy) or a tool for us to start building a new society free of oppression and tyranny or is it going to strive to become a mainstream coin in the vein of Bitcoin? Options are many but our plans, our direction, our philosophy are not. Thusly, we do not generate enough enthusiasm in the wider community of crypto enthusiasts; what is left seems to be only a bunch of nerds getting it and having some fun doing it, but no many others.
The technology involved points toward privacy as the Darkcoin key feature. Alas, the pan-fascists in power, in almost all the countries in the world, are leaping toward totalitarianism where no (real) privacy or (real) freedom would be possible, turning us all into its subjects. (i.e. we're not active participants in democracy anymore, having only sham crumbs of democracy given to us, like sham elections that appear to be free while are, in fact, predestined by the overlords well before we go to the voting booths) As the system's subjects we need to be surveilled all the time and controlled by all means. (food, water, taxes, militarized police, Goebbels TV omnipresence, endless wars that frighten us all the time, STASI like cancer of if you see something say something nonsense...) We are, as nations, getting tired and less prone to revolt for we do not see any chance of succeeding or (really) changing anything.
If nothing CLEAR is offered to us we accept status quo as the way of life and shrug the hope, and much more importantly, we shrug the fight off. Embracing Darkcoin at this juncture is almost an act of civil disobedience in the society that is comprised almost entirely of obedient servants of the system.
For these reasons, I lost all faith in humanity - or at least in this generation - that would need to open its eyes so the parallel, better world, with crypto in it, could be build. Alas, they have their
iPhone4, nope
iPhone5, nope iPhone6 and a new cool app to distract them from the reality. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." - said Goethe.
I hold on my Darkcoins only as a statement, not as an investment anymore.
Why can't we do all 3? The dollar does all 3. Those of us who don't condone breaking the law may also not want those laws either. Actually, the philosophy of DRK has always been privacy. The type of privacy you get with cash. It's a hell of a lot harder to accomplish with a traceable internet coin than a piece of paper the feds print out.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We may have to take up arms against our government eventually, if our system of peaceful revolution (via elections) doesn't set things right. It is becoming a very difficult task indeed. People in power will not easily give up their milk teat on the system. Government only grows, never really shrinks. What kind of hero we would need to actually get it to shrink! I don't think such a hero exists
