agree. bitcoin is a good technology to escape hegemonic control over money and forced inflation, but it's definitely not the sword of king arthur or the arc of the covenant, there's quite some religious overheat going on sometimes. It solves some pointed issues. It doesn't single-handedly save the world. Absolutely, the drive to monopolization - in all industries - is a destructive force. Commodification of the natural world, the hoarding of everything under patents, is a way "property rights" are being given in a drive to allow monopolistic corporations to accumulate and monopolize control over basic resources and to criminalize economic action indepent of corporate control.
Dear SwearyDoctor Most of the Bitcoiners just put the finger on central banks & financial system and blame them, but I think there are many incentives bigger than profit. Most of these incentives have theological roots, they are not logical or rational ideas.
