Varētu būt gan ar skaidro naudu un arī bez, bet, Chaj, lūdzu iedomājies pasauli bez skaidras naudas (kā tagad sāk notikt Nigerijā). Izdevīgi, varbūt ... it īpaši ja tu nezini vai negribi zināt (kā 99% no cilvekiem) par monetāru politiku, un kas to kontrolē.

Te ir jautājums par kontroli: absolutā informācijas pieejamība tiem, kas jau kontrolē monetaru politiku.

is apparently the answer, but do you really think it won't be controlled or destroyed at some point down the line? It seems to me to be too much of a threat to the Central bank/private bank system to survive.

it is decentralized and peer-to-peer by design, i.e., rather difficult to destroy w/o bringing down the entire 'net. they can easily shut down single nodes in the network. however, bitcoin does not depend on single nodes to operate. ergo, it will not be completely destroyed, but they can prevent it from becoming mainstream by going after merchants who accept it as currency, individuals who are known to have used it etc. it is technologically resilient, but for it to succeed it has to gain political legitimacy. it will be to interesting to see how it all goes down...

They will, I think, go after it in some form at some point - imagine: not only outside the current monetary system but also difficult (impossible?) to enforce taxation as far as I understand from what I have read.
