      You cant add another 0 to bitcoin unless you figure out how to convince more than 51% of miners to do it, the majority of users, and not collapse the price at the same time.

          Wtf are you even trying to say.

          To make a change to the protocol, you need 51% of the miners to agree and implement it when blocks are mined.

          But 51% of the miners isn’t enough because the users themselves can also revolt and fork away, which would destroy the price.

          To add a 0, you’d need a massive (*super) majority buy in from all sides.

          How much bitcoin anyone owns, even if someone owned 100% of it, has absolutely no bearing.

              Then enlighten me, what does

              Since the economic system gone fully electronic there is nothing which can stop adding another 0.

              What are they adding the 0 to? Why does it have to be with our system being electronic?

                An electronic system it’s easier to manipulate and it’s infinite, so if you thought capitalism will fall like Marx said, you are pretty wrong nowadays, capitalism it’s virtually infinite.

                  And how exactly does that allow you to electronically manipulate bitcoin to a virtually infinite amount?

                  I’d love to know how you plan on creating more than 21 million bitcoin or altering your bitcoin balance.

                    You don’t need to control Bitcoin, you just need to control the market.

                    If you control the market you control the price. You can add 0 or quit 0.
