The argument of freedom vs security comes up over and over again when it comes to introducing new things in our society. Such is the case with Bitcoin. Such is the case with guns, drugs and any other controversial topic. The arguments are the same. "X substance/item/idea/technology is used SOMETIMES from bad people and therefore we should "regulate" it for the good of everyone else". Bullshit.
Some people will always do bad shit whether that is holding guns, bitcoin, knives or... making offspring. It is massively hypocritical how most people scream like helpless children about the regulation of bitcoin or guns or or or by bringing the most horrific exceptions to the rule as example but say almost nothing about regulating dicks and pussies that are responsible for creating some of the most horrific atrocities to the most helpless individuals on this planet — children.
We do hear about bad things done to children whether that is physical abuse, murder or even selling them for profit. People sit around the TV and talk about it in horror but no one steps up to say "The government should do something about this". For some fucked up reason it is ok for some irresponsible and deranged people to bring a life and torture it, sell it or kill it but it is not ok or acceptable is some people some times to use bitcoin or guns for bad reasons.
Notice the logic here? Almost always the arguments against guns or bitcoin are carefully picked, finding the worse case scenarios. How very convenient right? When it comes to fucking and reproducing though nobody dares to speak a word, neglecting that over 90% of the prison population comes from poor and abusive families. In other words. fucked up people making even more fucked up people.
If most people were honest with themselves, they would call for some kind of reproductive ban. If the government was honest with itself it would call for a reproductive ban. Before bearing a child people would have to go through some kind of testing and evaluation and if they are deemed fit then they shall be granted a license for reproduction. This is what an intellectually honest person should do in regards to everything around them. Instead people pick and choose from a buffet of freedoms and securities in order to suit their own taste. It is as if the government desires for idiots to reproduce since they are the ones funding their "governing" operation.
There is no counter argument against "regulation of X" other that this simple example. If a government allows anyone to reproduce then this implies that they accept the consequences that some children, the future citizens, will be tortured, neglected, sold or killed by some people and no one will be able to stop them. There are no secret cameras in houses. There are no regular visits from welfare offices. Anyone can spread their seed and if something goes to shit, well, better discover it before it is too late — as it is almost always the case. Similarly the government geniuses shouldn't try to regulate guns, bitcoin or anything else since they do accept that some people will always fuck up in some way and there is nothing to be done about it.
