Yes, I get that in terms of where there are alternatives, like Bitcoin, we can choose to store our savings outside of the government fiat state monopoly...rather than asking/hoping they might reform fiat. In that sense I see Bitcoin as an excellent mechanism that can really pressure governments to change, as it has provided an alternative which creates healthy competitive pressure upon the state fiat monopoly. Often governments do not listen (sometimes because they are owned by bankers and corporates) and so more direct, or indirect actions are justified!

Exactly.
I imagine such mean of pressure would only be really effective if enough people do it, yet it is already great if individuals can use it "locally".
Printing money out of nothing will probably always be done and I suppose it's not necessarily bad when there's a real need for it, so it's more about people being aware of what it means, how it impact their life and having the possibility to keep it "checked".
We're still far of a world where Bitcoin changes the power balance globally but it became a goal that gives me hope, which I had not before. That's ok for me at the moment.
