It's amazing how foolish some people are to continue trusting= governments especially in light of recent history: a seemingly endless,= Orwellian 'war on terror', multiple regional conflicts often justified = by fake evidence, wholesale disregard of law and basic human covenants such= as do not torture, ubiquitous and secret global surveillance.

Anyone who doesn't consider governments the proper threat mode= l is either a shill or an idiot.

How exactly do things set "settled" in this environment?
People looking at Bitcoin think a small group of developers and miner= s "control" these decisions.  Not sure if "control" is the right word= but that is the perception.
