It really depends on the community you're talking with. In the Bitcoin community that would not surprise me in the least if it's just big holders dumping on little holders to cash out for fiat. In the Monero community however that's totally different because they want to use it as actual money. They, and I include myself in this category, believe that the government should absolutely not have control of our money supply that they can manipulate at any time for any reason or no reason at all and make everyone less wealthy, with the exception of those who they choose to give "government contracts", "incentives" or "subsidies". This is why the libertarians say that taxation is theft because they tax you on your productive hours of your life and call it an income tax and then they give it to the people who they choose to flatter and leave you homeless and shit.
I'm sorry, no. The point when you find yourself relating to libertarians is the time you should really ask yourself two simple questions
1 - Am I a dumbass?
2 - Why am I trying to herd myself in with a group of dumbasses?
And that's why we are different people. I have my opinion and you have yours. You're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours and we both already know that.
Why is this so heavily downvoted? Holy shit people, talk about a hivemind/'group of dumbasses'..
