Should we not just simplify the list and name a single entry of:

• the sham we currently pretend is government?

We'll be here all year listing all the different government bodies, politicians and so-called intelligence agencies.

You should add McAfee too. He's full of bs.😂
Anyway, Bitcoin is threatening their state by promotion of decentralization. So I always expect that someone will stand against it. We also knew that some people who stand against it are caught getting handful of Bitcoin. How ironic? Capitalism at it's finest. SMH

People are offering to ass Jp Morgan (even though it's not a person) and McAfee. Honestly, clicking on the thread I also expected that kind of list of people. I would also add Craig Wright and Warren Buffett. But I agree with Lucius that it's unclear why the whole list of Member States of the UN is included. After all, each country has some supporters and some opposers, and not all of the leaders from these countries even made up their mind about Bitcoin. When it comes to trust and Bitcoin, though, I think we should not trust anyone in a sense that no reasonable predictions about what Bitcoin will be and how much will it cost can be made, no matter how bad or nice a certain person making these predictions is.

i say when you cannot figure something yourself you need to relay on somebody like vitalik the founder of ethereum,

which mean even if billion people say to me this project is great and not scam and have hype(this is how the web dominated by scams) and vitalil say to me stay away ,i stand with him with closed my.


but it very rare to find people like vitalik

I don't know why do we even care for them. Why do we even need a list when we know this is what we want. We want them to buy Bitcoin and hold so we cannot say anything about it. We want them to join our community and realize what is the true power behind this technology. All they do is talk nonsense about this new technology and does not really follow what that se around the media.

You can vastly minimise the trust you're doling out with a bit more effort. Not all that many people are but the tools and learning are out there and further tools are being developed. The prime area where trust could do with being cut to the bone is exchanges and hopefully some day there'll be proper decentralised exchanges.

Add Facebook.

what does UN and the government agencies have anything to do with bitcoin and whether you trust "them" about bitcoin or not?! that doesn't make any sense! they are not producing bitcoin or selling you bitcoin or even buying your bitcoin. it is all done by yourself and there is no trust involved in this world, the only trust is in the transparent and open source cryptography that is the backbone of bitcoin and nothing else.

Except the banks could print unlimited money and sell at a loss   or obtain all the supply for free pretty much like they do with everyone's work, goods, services and limited time with their unlimited $lavery supply  
Or just buy a shit load of asics and control dat network.

The best play they could actually make right now, is Hijacking the price to the moon, so the average person can not obtain like they can, What they are doing is scare tatics and trying to get the supply through devaluation from weak hands, also a pretty solid tactic.

The thing is they need the right balance, they need average people to have some of the supply, otherwise people will not use it.
