“Nahiko erraza da finantza merkatuetan aritzen direnentzat TDM (taxes drive money[2]) ulertzea, baina ia ezinezkoa ekonomialarientzat…
Uste dut John Shayne-k laburpen ongi samarra egin duela TDMz.”
Hemen Jon Sayne-k[3]:
“Dolarrak eta bitcoinak desberdinak dira. (…) ez ditugu behar bitcoinak zergak ordaintzeko, presondegitik kanpo egoteko (…) … zergak dira dolarraren baliorako funtsezko oinarria…[4]“
Eta ondoko elkarrizketa[5]:
“Paul Solman: Hortaz, bitcoinek ez dituzte inoiz gobernu monetak erabat ordezkatuko?
Charles Hoskinson: Ez zara inoiz gai izango zeure zergak bitcoinetan ordaintzeko. (…) … ez dituzte inoiz ordezkatuko moneta subiranoak, zeure zergak zeure moneta subiranoetan ordaindu behar dituzun heinean… eta gobernuek ez dute hori aldatuko gutxi barruko edozein denboratan.”

[4] Ingelesez: “To understand the value of the dollar, it is instructive to consider how U.S. dollars are different from bitcoins. We do not need bitcoins to stay out of prison, and U.S. law is unlikely to ever recognize them as legal tender. Granted, bitcoins are elegant and, in their wonky way, beautiful. But many things are beautiful. Bitcoin is not even the only crypto-currency. Few people, in my experience, consider taxes to be the grounding for the dollar’s value. Most people just don’t think about it. However, Paul Solman, the master of the bits on this page, touched on the idea last year in an interview with Boston University finance professor Zvi Bodie…”

Ingelesez:
“Paul Solman: So this is never going to completely replace government currencies?
Charles Hoskinson: You’re never going to be able to pay your taxes in Bitcoin. Think of Bitcoin as kind of like the money of the Internet, and it’s just another option — like PayPal or credit cards or Starbucks gift cards — to pay for things. But it probably won’t and never will replace sovereign currencies, as long as you have to pay your taxes in your sovereign currency, and I don’t think the government’s going to change that anytime soon.”

“Bitcoin prices tumbled almost 15% as Chinese bitcoin exchange BTC China announced it has stopped accepting RMB deposits to user accounts from a major bank. As Coindesk reports, Management decided to proactively halt deposits from one of the country’s largest banks, China Merchants Bank, after the bank posted on its public website that it would no longer allow its customers to engage in bitcoin-related transactions, and said essentially it would require all such businesses to close their accounts.

Bitcoin:
In http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2014/09/bbc-hates-correa-much-restrain.htm
“First, Bitcoin is not a success, except at aiding and abetting a host of transnational crimes. Second, Bitcoin does not have “thousands of developers.” It may be used by thousands of web sites devoted to aiding transnational crime. Third, Bitcoin has been beset by enormous scandals because it attracts criminal “developers” and criminals who wish to steal Bitcoins. Bitcoin “faced huge challenges” because it is at heart a Ponzi scheme that is used overwhelmingly by transnational criminals. Bitcoin is simply a particularly shadowy product of the shadow financial system that blew up the global economy.”

BitCon: the book
http://ftalphaville.ft.com/2014/09/29/1984972/bitcon-the-book/
“The book, in any case, provides a good overview of why the economic thinking that drives the movement is toxic, as well as the twisted and malevolent forces at play.”
