Bitcoin HODLER manifesto and other things (My 2 cents) First of all: This is not a financial advice, it's only a language exercise containign my ideas. SECOND thing: the title is correct: the manifesto born after a forum post mispelling titled I HODL. The cryptocurrencie world is very strange to me and this manifesto unveils an other contraddiction of this world. The first and biggest contraddiction I found , in the cc world,was the lack of "freedom". Bitcoin was born to broke the banks control on currency, but now bitcoin has 5/6 big mining firms who own the majoity of coins : I don't see freedom nor decentralization in this. Furthermore - at my knowldge - you (in the biggest majoity of cases) need an exchange to buy and sell bitcoin, and exchanges in EU and USA (but soon also in S Korea and china) obey the same laws about clients'ID. Twice: no freedom no decentralization. Last came this manifesto where is stated "A True HODLer Buys Goods and Services With Their Coin". But - to be serious - We must admit that services and goods are priced in fiat currecies (euro, dollars, pounds), some times you can use bitcoins to buy sometingh but its price is established in fiat currencies: that price is converted in bitcoin and you pay that amount. I didn't see any seller selling something only in bitcoin, except for silk road. Moral of the story (imho): there is not any cripto currencies economy but trading. info the website containing that manifesto is hodlermanifesto dot com
