We do not live in a world of good guys and bad guys, we live in a world of states and slaves. The bad guys are always the states, the states create wars, the common man does not create wars. The state steals, extorts and murders. It doesn't matter if the state is politically right or left wing, all states do the same thing, throughout past, present and future history. The only difference is that whoever wins the war rewrites history and makes you believe that the losing state is the bad one, but both are bad. Bitcoin is not going to solve the problem of states because people will continue to vote and be part of the system, and monarchies and dictatorships will continue to exist, but perhaps we can take away much of the funding and thereby save many lives. #Bitcoin #Agorism

You can absolutely buy food with bitcoin from someone who accepts it. If they don't accept it you'd have to exchange it for whatever they do... Like when you travel to another country. Surely you must be trolling because there is no way you can't understand this. If your point is that bitcoin has failed because it isn't ubiquitously accepted everywhere in the world after being barely known of or understood for a handful of years then that's well... dumb

I'd be happy if it was accepted in a few places. It's being accepted in none to my knowledge. As for traveling to other countries, having to trade my form of payment for theirs is annoying mostly because of varying exchange rates. It makes financial planning difficult. That's why I spend 90% of my time in my country and do 90% of my business here.
