Bitcoin And The Failure of International Monetary Policy

 Germany has recognized bitcoin as “private money”. This is another step toward legitimizing it as a currency. This is not a good thing for world governments, as their power and financing comes from being the middlemen in all financial transactions. They take a percentage of all sales, income, and private transactions in one way or another.

Untraceable digital currency removes them from monetary policy, and sets them up for several scenarios that do not end well. The main issue is one of international inflationary monetary policy, versus an inherently deflationary digital currency.

There are only a limited number of bitcoins that will ever be mined, once that number is reached no more will be produced, there is the first problem. Governments love to print money, as they do the price of all things goes up, this is inflation. With digital currencies the exact opposite occurs. As more people use the currency the higher the price will go, it is basic economics, limited supply -vs- high demand.

A simple thought experiment to show how bad this is for governments. A person walks into a grocery store today and sees  loaf of bread for $2 USD or 0.005 bitcoin, he remembers that last year that same loaf of bread cost $1 USD or 0.01 bitcoin.  The price of that loaf of bread has doubled in US Dollars and has fallen by one half in bitcoins. Which do you think he will use in the future,  the US dollar, which is losing him money over time, or the coinage that continues to rise in value, acting as both an investment and currency, as it is adopted by more people.

    It is pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the web can be a lot more helpful than ever
    before.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up?

    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears
    a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.
