G’day, Isaac, thanks for that.
While I don’t own any Bitcoin or crypto myself, one of my sons does and he’s a big fan. That said, I’ve watched Bitcoin’s progress since its inception, and it absolutely does have a place in the economic system. Unlike gold and silver, fiat currency is an invention of governments, and the cynic in me says it’s designed to slowly rob wealth from the productive but underinformed working class and transfer it to the banksters. A currency free of bankster control could be a big advantage to the free people of the world.
So, to answer your questions…
1. If people wish to buy or sell or trade via Bitcoin then that is nobody’s business but theirs.
2. I probably would accept a Bitcoin donation if it were offered, but I don’t have the skills to receive it or pass it on to HQ in accordance with party rules. I’d probably get HQ to handle it.
3. Government regulation is already excessive, particularly given the extraordinary waste in the government sector, so I don’t see a need to regulate Bitcoin just as I don’t see a need to regulate, for example, the trading of household goods on Gumtree. I don’t know what the Bitcoin rules are in other countries because my major focus has been on exposing the climate and covid scams and the intentions of the people who run them.
And, as I’ve queried my son, hypothetically, what happens to the value of Bitcoin or crypto in the event of a Carrington Event or an electricity grid collapse from an over-reliance on unreliable electricity generators or a cyber-attack that shuts down the internet? (That, BTW, is why I’m a fan of gold and silver over either fiat or crypto…)
In a free society, people should be able to choose what they buy or sell without government interference, and … caveat emptor.
