Why not go further and imagine a world without money, crypto or fiat?
Bitcoin doesn’t give power to you or me, it just transfers the power from one set of bastards to another, because it’s STILL MONEY and money is and will always be a tool for exploitation.
Crytpo is a currency of crime and corruption. The biggest problem Pablo Escobar had was moving around thousands of pounds of money, a lot of which he had to bury and was eaten by rats. Cash is hard to launder. Ryan Wedding grew his empire very fast using crypto across borders.
The only advantage of crypto is that it doesn’t physically exist, and no one has to report sending or receiving large quantities of it, unlike cash.
$1M in 20s is 40-50kg of weight. Hard to smuggle up your ass.
Yeah. Let’s give banks all the power.
Like they don’t already have it?
Stay in school.
serious question, what power has Bitcoin gained away from banks?
You can report critically on Israel without being debanked from Bitcoin. https://www.mintpressnews.com/german-journalist-potter-israel/289421/
It’s not just bitcoin, but cryptocurrency in general enables decentralized transactions and some of them even maintain anonymity for users.

until you need actual cash, in which case you give your identity to any reputable exchange.
also who actually benefits from “decentralized” transactions? specifically who and how.
also, that anonymity is what cash is for.

Crypto can replace cash if more people use it.
Everyone that doesn’t benefit from the surveillance state.
How are you going to exchange cash across vast distances quickly and anonymously?
Criminals and tax evaders
sure it can replace cash, but at the cost of mining, and actual usability. anything can replace cash. doesn’t mean it will.
again, this is still possible with existing systems of cash, so I don’t know who and how will benefit more from crypto.
how often do people actually do that? the most that happens is when my aunt mails me… get this… cash.
Banks cause way more pollution and suffering. And pyramid schemes. Crypto isn’t even close.
