Z čeho pramení odmítání Bitcoinu ze strany akademické obce, ekonomických elit a intelektuálů?
Máme pro to jméno - a důkladnou analýzu.
Esej Nocoiner syndrom (Institute of Cryptoanarchy, 2024) představuje psychologické a ekonomické motivace odpůrců Bitcoinu. Zkoumá, proč centrální plánovači považují „early adopters“ za nemorální, odhaluje jejich kognitivní disonanci pramenící ze strachu ze ztráty kontroly nad měnovým systémem - a zároveň nabízí i léčbu jejich úzkostných stavů.
Věnováno každému, kdo hledá hlubší pochopení bitcoinové kontroverze.

Thank you for feedback.
There are still risks, we were talking about the risk of the project not taking off.
But let's discuss your risk analysis:
1. and 2. are still risks
3. possible, low probability, but that does not mean Bitcoin goes away. Even if it flips over, there will be people that want to stay in Bitcoin. When countries introduced instant payment and better "distribution qualities" of fiat, there still were enough people who held to gold, just because they trust it more.
4. that is a risk of something that will happen, but that will not kill bitcoin as a project. There is now enough hodlers that they will just play in their own sandbox regardless of splits.
5. This is similar to 2. Yes, it's a risk, but not to bitcoin, but to its users. Market will react with better security solutions.
6. Outlawing is not a risk to bitcoin, but to some users. There are many countries where bitcoiners can flee to and they will have mean to do it. It will also show how the use-case of bitcoin (free movement of capital and self custody) works and solves this problem for users. Bullish (not necessarily for price, but for use-case, what Bitcoin is for).
7. that will certainly test Bitcoin's antifragility, bullish.

The institute is not tied to the building, it's like ECB, having many branches. But contrary to ECB we do not have any hierarchy.

The nocoiner syndrome is not simply having no Bitcoin. Most people on this planet as of this writing have no Bitcoin. Some don't know about it, some have not invested enough time to learn about it, and some do not want or need it for its properties.
The nocoiner syndrome is a condition under which a person perceives early adopters of Bitcoin as immoral. Often, this condition stems from their perception that early Bitcoin adopters in their vicinity have quickly become extremely wealthy, by not producing anything, "just buying Bitcoin". The root cause of this syndrome is perception of a "missed train" and further justification of why Bitcoin itself and also the early adopters are bad, immoral, or misguided.
To be diagnosed with the nocoiner syndrome, individuals must actively oppose and judge Bitcoiners. This often involves hiding trauma from past dismissals of Bitcoin as unworkable or harboring suppressed feelings like 'we missed this train' or 'it is too late.' This leads to animosity towards Bitcoiners.

More importantly we need to send them the paper.
Anyone knows a snail mail address? We are producing a hard copy and they deserve a copy each.

We are pleased to announce our research paper "Nocoiner Syndrome", which analyzes this condition where individuals, especially those benefiting from the current financial system's Cantillon Effect, perceive early Bitcoin adopters as immoral.
It is based on a case study of certain individuals working for European Central Bank and investigating several "issues" with Bitcoin. As they have all the symptoms to be diagnosed with late progression of nocoiner syndrome, we decided to help people understand this condition and possible treatments.
Please spread widely to help those in need: https://cryptoanarchy.institute/nocoiner-syndrome-2024.pdf
