Description
"Panic is rising. Bitcoin, the way out of their giant Ponzi scheme, does not want to die, but the survival of the fiat system depends on the lack of an alternative. The entire system is therefore in danger." — Alexandre Stachtchenko The ECB is at is again with a new, 20 page "research" paper on the economic dangers of a possible future in which Bitcoin survives. Yes it's just another pile of drivel from the same authors who have decried Bitcoin as a useless, empty bubble destined for a quick and embarrassing death. Yet the embarrassment seems to turn the other way when the bubble still doesn't pop, and Bitcoin still doesn't die. Despite the obvious intellectual dishonesty permeated throughout the paper, is there a more fundamental capitulation in their framing? Have they actually conceded something critical despite their careful attempt to show no signs of any possible benefit to Bitcoin whatever? Is there a sense of panic in their words?

"This is also an interesting case study in how Bitcoin resists duplication. You can create something which looks cosmetically similar to Bitcoin, but you cannot replicate the settlement assurances which derive from the costliness of the ledger."— Nic Carter A correction needs to be made. Thanks...
