Y'all prefer to have the government and banks in charge of money instead? seriously?
What I don't want in charge, is a shadowy cabal of a few rich people only bound to the maximization of their own profit.
I'm not paying extra to remove what little democratic control there is in the existing system.
the shadowy cabal of a few rich people is called the Fed, it's privately owned by all the banks. there is no democracy in the existing system

For me: probably. Either way, transactions cost money. Either pay the block chain fees or just use cash/credit card.
I'm ok with credit and cash.
yeah they've done great with inflation so far! lol
Yes I want my democratically elected representatives ("the gobernment") in charge
