Bitcoin is a touchy topic.
There’s a lot of people out there who seem to think it’s all one big scam. It’s a fair assumption given that the opacity of the industry. blockchain technology is an emerging new technology that has many promised uses and fairly, threatens to disrupt the way the world is run – which is why governments, banks, and regulators oppose it.
The whole point of blockchain is to remove control from any one individual and normalise a market, whereas government bodies would prefer to keep control of it – particularly the Federal Reserve in the role of propping up the US stock markets.
This is where my first point comes in.
