[@chloefletcher9612]

​@@outresru7751 if you have not heard of the East India Trading Company - imagine if all the Silicon Valley tech companies combined, but were also granted the full legal protection of the British Empire, at its height to basically do whatever they wanted. This includes, but was not limited to, raising full armies, invading and conquering entire countries, and being granted the right to tax the populous of those conquered states. They were granted "trading monopoly" over both China and India, meaning that essentially all trade for both of those very substantial countries was owned by this one company - and it's estimated 15% of all trade in the Empire went through The East India Company. I cannot think of any corporation before or since that even comes close to the level of power this company was granted, albeit to the benefit of the British Crown at all times.

[@AbeZchannel]

@@outresru7751 Basically (from an uneducated, not totally studied at all point of view), it basically means if you were to consider companies as their own countries, they would have more money than some countries, and with more money usually comes more power. Like how the Vatican City works within Rome. In the past, the East India Trading Company was a company exporting spices from India, and had so much wealth that at some point in time it could reasonably (and probably did) have its own army and navy to control parts of India because they wanted natural resources from that area. again, wasn't looked up, just vaguely remembering what I've heard.

Sending money from the one side of the world to the other side of the world without a third party is pretty big imo. People working abroad and sending money back home pay so much in fees using WesternUnion etc etc.. Bitcoin - crypto, is here to change the world and it already changed the lives of many.

[@studioviper3016]

To me, the value of bitcoin is that there will only ever be 21 million bitcoins. No central bank can print more bitcoins. How is anyone meant to make a good life for themselves when their own government is knowingly debasing your money so that it's worth less and less each year? Last time I checked, no one is getting a payrise that keeps up with the true cost of inflation. Moving from fiat to bitcoin would take away the banks power to do this. And just like real estate and gold, wouldn't you rather own a hard asset that goes up in value the longer you hold it? Why would anyone want to own something that depreciates?

[@VincentHondius]

Crypto takes away power from banks and countries. Bitcoin has a finite supply which protects your buying power against inflation created by the government. Governments also can't censor any crypto transactions. It also provides access to digital money to those that don't have access to a bank account (big deal in less developped countries). Also, banks currently basically give 0% interest, while they speculate with your money and inflation eats away your buying power. In decentralized finance, you can get the interest you deserve

Great video. I just hope the last two guys understand why we moved off of the gold standard in the first place and the problems that Empires can get into when they print too much money and causes inflation, especially one as important as the US Dollar. Bitcoin is decentralized and has a fixed supply, meaning countries can’t just print up $3 trillion dollars worth to fund a war so they may have to be wiser with diplomacy issues. It solves so many problems we’ve gotten into from excessive spending, it’s a shame that people get introduced to it on investment apps. It skews their entire perspective of it, especially if they lack the historical context behind money vs currencies, and the problems it can present when fiat money is mismanaged by governments

She says it happens all the time but if it did crypto advocates would have better evidence than saying, believe me, I know it happens, someone on the internet told me it did, which is what most of their claims come down to and is why they can't actually give real numbers. It likely happens so rarely that no one really bothers to keep track of it. And why would it be common it doesn't work any better for a woman in Afghanistan than just having a foreign back account, in many ways it is worse considering the fees and time it takes to process the transaction. This is how most stuff with crypto work, it rarely is an actual solution to anything so anytime someone doesn't give a real answer to a question you can usually assume that it doesn't actually solve the problem they are claiming it does, at least not any better than other systems and they are just trying to sell you on crypto to make their investment go up.
