Read_850 - Three Doors, Which Will Bitcoin Choose?

"A victory in revolution doesn’t come free or easy. For Bitcoin to really do what many of us hope it can, it’s really necessary at the end of the day to walk a painful path. And that means people have to choose to walk it. Many people in this space think that governments will simply roll over and let Bitcoin win, but that is just a feint to move in and capture it.

We need to push to build around them, build in parallel, and force their hand. If they don’t actively fight it, then there is something else going on. That isn’t good for us." — Shinobi

Will Bitcoin's path forward be one of capitulation to the existing financial system, a revolution against it, or fragmentation into a multitude of smaller, less effective networks? An article by Shinobi, reflecting on the 2013 musings of Mircea Popescu, explores these possibilities and more. Today we get both Shinobi's and Guy's Take on the future of Bitcoin, its potential to reshape the global economy, and which door it will choose.
