"The whole point of linux is being able to not needing to use other operating system or propiertary software".

This is clearly bollocks. Bitcoin is just a tool, like linux, and can be used for numerous different purposes in numerous different ways. There is no "point" in Bitcoin, it is open source software that everyone can use as they will.

Some people clearly seem to think that bitcoin is meant for something special, in bitcoin community and outside of it. The funny thing is that even they can't have any control over how bitcoin is used, except for their own usage of course.



People want it to be a financial solution to political problems. It won't do that.
