The US dollar says, “In God we trust,” because Americans trust only God blindly. Every participant in America’s brand of free market capitalism is untrusted and subject to public checks and balances. Everyone in our free-market democracy must publicly answer to government regulators, except Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin has no utility and is merely spreadsheet money. Bitcoin is not a currency and still cannot be used to buy goods and services. It is a poor investment because it trades in a manipulated market. Bitcoin will eventually go to zero.","person":"Marc Fitapelli","jobTitle":"Attorney","publication":"MDF LAW","statementDate":"2024-09-05","bitcoinPriceUsd":56160.49,"addedOn":"2025-04-07","updatedOn":"2025-04-07","citationUrl":"https://bitcoindeaths.com/posts/2024-09-05-the-case-against-bitcoin","sourceUrl":"https://mdf-law.com/case-against-bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto/","archiveUrl":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240909052646/https://mdf-law.com/case-against-bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto/"}]}
