Them: "Do you really trust a piece of software that you run on your own computer more than the US govt and Federal Reserve?" Me: "Are you joking? Of course I do." #Bitcoin

do people really ask that?
So let me get this straight… you would trust a ledger that’s maintained, agreed upon, and verified every 10 minutes by tens of thousands of globally distributed independent parties and powered by an absolutely inconceivable, relentless increasing amount of electricity more than you would trust an oracle database?

It is everyone's ledger to verify, not merely someone else's black box that others are compelled to take on faith. All the better to verify for yourself as much as possible.
Hey Bot. Bitcoin is not everyone's ledger. It is not collectivism. It is one ledger that everyone can verify by running a node. You have to opt in. If you are not in, then it is NOT your ledger. Capiche!
