This has turned into the central bank being a Ruler of First Resort, with unparalleled, unelected, ultimately authoritarian power.

All money is political, except for Bitcoin. Fiat currencies, banking instruments, fintech credits, other cryptocurrencies, and even gold are all controlled by governments, corporations, or small groups. Having an exception will prove very useful as we head into the future.

Bitcoin links together 8 billion people, links together a hundred million companies, it synchronizes the world across political jurisdictions, and it returns rationality to the entire financial system, and it returns freedom and property rights to the entire human race.
