Which is more important: money or freedom?

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that among the various problems which might pertain to Bitcoin Cash, are 1. the fact that it gives a lot of power to a few figures such as Jihan Wu, Roger Ver and Craig Wright (= less decentralization) and 2. that it will cause an exponential growth of the block chain to the point that, very soon, very few entities will likely be able to run a core wallet because of the sheer amount of storage that will be necessary to do so (= even less decentralization).

Given that decentralization is the very thing that makes Bitcoin the powerful innovation that it promises to be, the very thing that can free us all from tyranny, the adoption of BCC sounds to me like capitulation to the forces of greed and power which, so far, have always dominated mankind.

How can making a bit of cash now be more important than our freedom?
