通过播客和社交媒体平台,Guy Swann 深入探讨比特币、经济理论和个人自由,影响着广大加密货币爱好者。
Topics
Guy Swann认为欧洲央行(ECB)对比特币的立场已发生转变,从最初的否定和预测其崩溃,到如今不得不正视其可能存活并带来财富再分配的风险。他认为ECB的报告缺乏科学依据,充斥着主观臆断,其核心观点是资产价格上涨使持有者获益,而非持有者受损。Swann进一步指出,ECB将大量资源用于研究比特币,这本身就值得质疑。他认为,持有比特币的行为实际上是支持更优越的交易系统,并使商品更易获得,对社会和经济有益。 Alexandre Stachtchenko认为,比特币的存活对法币体系构成威胁,因为它是法币体系庞氏骗局的替代方案。他指出,ECB试图证明,即使比特币不崩溃,其对社会财富的再分配后果也是有害的,但其报告的假设是武断且有偏见的,其结论是预设的。Stachtchenko认为,比特币的早期采用者主要是年轻人、低收入者和少数族裔群体,而非如ECB报告所暗示的那样是富人和投机者。他认为,ECB对比特币的担忧,实际上暴露了欧元等法币体系自身的缺陷,并建议非比特币持有者应该反对比特币,并倡导立法禁止比特币。 欧洲央行(ECB)的报告指出,如果比特币存活,财富将被重新分配,损害现有既得利益者。报告的核心论点是,即使比特币不崩盘,其财富再分配效应也会对社会造成负面影响。报告认为,比特币的早期采用者将获得巨额财富,而晚期采用者或非持有者将蒙受损失,这将导致社会不稳定和民主受到威胁。报告还试图证明,比特币并未解决任何实际问题,其技术机制存在缺陷。然而,报告的假设是武断且有偏见的,其结论是预设的,其论证缺乏科学依据,充斥着主观臆断。

**"Panic is rising. Bitcoin, the way out of their giant Ponzi scheme, does not want to die, but the survival of the fiat system depends on the lack of an alternative. The entire system is therefore in danger." ****— Alexandre Stachtchenko**

``The ECB is at is again with a new, 20 page "research" paper on the economic dangers of a possible future in which Bitcoin survives. Yes it's just another pile of drivel from the same authors who have decried Bitcoin as a useless, empty bubble destined for a quick and embarrassing death. Yet the embarrassment seems to turn the other way when the bubble still doesn't pop, and Bitcoin still doesn't die.

Despite the obvious intellectual dishonesty permeated throughout the paper, is there a more fundamental capitulation in their framing? Have they actually conceded something critical despite their careful attempt to show no signs of any possible benefit to Bitcoin whatever? Is there a sense of panic in their words?
