>I wonder what makes people believe that the internet should be this sort of "law free" place where anyone can implement all the exploitative behaviour which is otherwise forbidden elsewhere?

Violent crime doesnt happen on the internet. The only thing to prevent is fraud. And that weirdly isnt huge, at least in my life.

Not everyone subscribes to the thought that government makes better decisions than individuals. Having laws are often used for corrupt purposes.

That is the PR reason.

The real reason is aftermarket changes/repairs/services.

Tesla wants 100% of that business, reminds me of Apple.

Hmm, should I use United States Dollars? OR Facebook United States Dollars?

I'm going with G.) Other.

Hording cash is a terrible investment idea.

EDIT: Hording and Investing typically means to generate future value. Daily spending money can be done in cash. I would hope I didn't need to explicitly say this, but hey, economics is hard.

If it is pegged to USD, there is no investment potential. It is just as bad as cash.

The idea behind bitcoin is that you don't need to rely on the US government for storing value. There are 21,000,000 BTC ever ever, you can't print more.

That article did not address this at all. This is the most compelling reason to buy bitcoin.

>I highly doubt that anyone read this and actually thought that there was some sort of global law requiring this.

I did! or at least US wide law.
