RE: Bitcoin hits $9600, Coinbase adds another 100k users, but is the best yet to come?
So is anyone considering why bitcoin is making so much money. That the only reason it hit 5k was because of the dark-net and criminal activity supporting the currency. Who made Bitcoin? What are there intentions to do with it. Yea yea... decentralized economy blah blah. What happens when we all have a decentralized economy that requires you to connect to the internet to have money. And that internet infrastructure is controlled by AI that can analyze the public data Bitcoin offers to pinpoint people on the Earth to time and place of purchase. We're handing over our privacy for money...
I'm not saying I know even a percentage of whats going on here, but the fact that no one even says anything to spark conversation here on Steemit is frustrating. Same old story, if it doesn't pay you its not worth your time eh?

As a software dev with 20+ years of experience who has studied Mastering Bitcoin I can tell you with nearly complete certainty that bitcoin and many other alts as they currently stand work against government control. I'm worried that what will happen is that government will try to replace these with their own centrally controlled crypto and create a digital panopticon.
I think we know we have AI self awareness when code begins to write itself.
That sounds spot on. I wish I could trust it. I feel that bitcoin may already be part of the new world order towards centralization.
