Those who would give up essential decentralization, to purchase temporary lower fees, deserve neither decentralization nor lower fees

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin FranklinThere might be an even better way to make this relevant to the discussion today.Decentralization is of course freedom and security and safety.If you look at it from that angle, it is obvious what is at stake.An astute observer of modern societies realizes that this is and remains a threat, because human nature will not change in the foreseeable future. The only hope I have is that a technical solution for this human flaw is possible. But if anyone will find a solution, I am pretty sure it will be the open source community behind Bitcoin. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2nsT01F
