Just Another Failed Experiment?

[anyone]

Bitcoin is a foretaste of the kind of future we will be having. It has many advantages and positive features which the people are clamoring for especially after the economic near-collapse in 2008-2009. We need a better financial system away from the controlling interest of the greedy and corrupt traditional monetary platform we have right now. However, the road to this better financial system is not an easy one...can be just as bumpy as hell in fact. Change is not something that will happen overnight...it has to be fought and there will be casualties along the way (which can make things and people go sour).

Bitcoin and the technology behind it (the blockchain) since just another man-made is not perfect and nothing will be... but it has the features that can minimize the pull of human nature. Things are hinging on how we the people would appreciate Bitcoin and how we can use it for good and not just another tool for our greedy and corrupt human nature. Right now, we are always experiencing volatility all because of over speculation (partly cased by our desire for more or greed).

We should be hoping that after all the dusts are settled, Bitcoin will not be just another failed experiment...or just another man-made system that fell because we failed to go beyond our shortsighted human weaknesses.

How could you even suggest this when the "experiment" itself isn't over? While I agree with you no system is perfect, this seems to be the best system we have had ever in the history of mankind. You need to trust the laws of math and that is all that needs to be done. Also, I don't look at things that effect the whole world as an "experiment". These are systems put into place in order to better peoples lives, we surely aren't taking some random stabs at it and hoping it is correct. We do it with the intent it is correct, and if it isn't we will find out soon enough.

Bitcoin is not another failed experiment. When you look at the number of people that were into crypto currency when bitcoin was launched and the number of people that are into it today will tell you the direction bitcoin is heading into . Acceptance by mainstream society . People's attitude towards it is changing answer too. Also the value of bitcoin to dollar today says a lot.
