It's kinda like saying is capitalism a big deal? Is freedom a big deal? Is the promise of Bitcoin a big deal? Yes! I certainly think so. The voluntary exchange of value that it opens up is tremendous. People across the globe being able to trade and exchange things for dimes, nickels, and even fractions of a cent! Why don't more people see the potential here? I feel that the dream was lost not so much because people got rich, but because the system was taken over by central planners. Like those who plan the fiat system, it's is hard for people to imagine that an unplanned system of mutual benefit can create better results. Craig seems to think he can just keep building the infrastructure in his ivory tower, but I don't know if he understands the central role that entrepreneur plays in the system. We need more excitement and more people iterating. Not that I should talk, I'm percolating ideas, but haven't made anything yet. What will it take for people who've been bamboozled to wake up? Why did all the economist at the mises Institute fall for the BTC scam? The ponzi scheme seems so obvious. I worry that if people don't wake up, the dream and vision may be forever lost.
