Bitcoin is a collective mechanism freeing participants from the fiat state monopoly and enabling SoV and MoE P2P. However the state-banker fiat cartel has succeeded in largely capturing and controlling the protocol by designating it as a speculative commodity. Yet they say nothing backs it so how can it be a commodity? Nevertheless this sly response from the Fiat Debt Slavery Bankers cartel has rendered lawful MoE use extremely inconvenient as each and every transaction must be recorded along with the current fiat exchange rate in order to comply with the tax obligations in nearly all liberal democracies. In most autocracies Bitcoin MoE is simply, explicitly banned. Thus the lawful use of Bitcoin as a P2P MoE has been obstructed almost completely (except for those of us prepared to ignore such sly and devious laws) rendered impractical and only convenient to use as a speculative commodity that in effect presents very little real challenge to the fiat debt slavery bankers cartel and their hegemony over MoE.
