Knowing that the general population of the planet has heard about Bitcoin and has at least a shimmer of a clue about Crypto, not all of us that are into it have the activist approach of shoving the cause down the throat pushing for a broader adoption.
It sounds harsh and in fact is drastic but all the countermoves coming from the bankster´s are no less intense. Making the argument with freedom and security is the thing one would expect to be appreciated, although hard to replace all of the happy faces in commercials and billboards. The ultimate security being your own bank can overcome only sloppiness and neglect. People do tend to give up their freedom for some crappie security leaving their lives at some dictator´s pleasing. People seem to enjoy being dragged by their noses even if they end up whining time after time.
So why not take the approach of fighting the enemy with his own weapon and of course until success is reached. Banks protecting their own ledgers with algorithms some crypto coins have even overpassed in terms of security makes one wonder how comes that its better to then leave the money in a bank instead of having all of it in a wallet. That could be buried, accessible with a multi biometric, semantic and on top cryptographic signature, yes, yes for the sake of overkill multi person dual verification protocol should also be applied. So where is the catch? Why are these arguments not megaphoned out to the public? Is it there are no channels to do so? Is no one looking? Is grandma to ignorant? Is there no will to change for the better? Why?
Or is the other side, the dark side, playing with our fears being aware of the security perks and playing it out until it lasts, transitioning slowly not investing enough in a tech that robs them of their fees de facto robbing you instead and giving away only crumbs for the public to feed from.
Trusting someone with your financial assets instead being your own keeper is the best way to incentivize fraud. The anonymity and neutrality issue has made some states prosper even without robbing and plundering other people. Swiss banks nowadays have to bow to some international regulations although for the more experienced eye it is obvious that to follow the money is not a game for beginners since all the arms traffic still happens, governments still defraud you of your life achievements, disaster aid is transferred to Swiss banks but only in the case of a few sloppy corrupt players it gets discovered. Demonstrable with regard to the flow of money needed for such endeavors in contrast to the assets seized.
To argue crypto is a fraud coming from a bankster is somewhat of a reach considering the state of the financial stability. Even if banks weren’t adopting more and more blockchain solutions, and they are definitely investing gazillions throughout the world, the end result would become clear when A I overtakes decision-making, seeking for the economically more efficient way of transacting. The A I solution as an example even Tech moguls showing down our throats all day, every day. Even a robot would gladly accept some coins off affirmation to confirm POW (proof of work) as to make sure he keeps doing the right thing.
Why not ask granny down there from the corner store if she would sell you a jar of pickles or marmalade for some bitcoin. The activist approach would be to do that regularly, every once in a while not to get her mad but to have it mentioned and eventually discussed. She would argue -“but that stuff I can’t hold in my hands!”- . The wall of semi truths is hard to break through because the system has brainwashed a big majority to believe that Ministries and Agencies are fountains of honesty and infallibility. –“The treasury is very capable of letting you have a few bucks in your pocket but the amount of currency in circulation is difficult to compare because of the sheer enormity of that number.”- could one say. And add –“most of it in the clouds, electric. There was approximately $1.63 trillion in circulation as of March 21, 2018, of which $1.59 trillion was in Federal Reserve notes. The rest of the 21 trillion US national debt no one ever mentions. It’s a fraud Nany Granny.”-
