"Normies can't help but to focus on money's role as a medium of exchange.

We live in a Consumption-based society after all.

But what most fail to grok (or acknowledge) is that the core feature of Money--and all of Finance, really--actually revolves around Purchasing Power.

IMPORTANT: The Creation and Control of money are the proverbial Keys to the Kingdom.

Whoever Creates and Controls money also has the ultimate say regarding the Purchasing Power of its Users (or Participants).

When the State Creates and Controls your money, they get to decide how much--if any--of your Purchasing Power they will confiscate over time.

And...

Since the ability to confiscate (aka, "steal") our Purchasing Power via the Creation and Control of money is nearly irresistible, the State chooses this option... every time.

Always. Without fail.

Until the State grows so large relative to its underlying People's waning Purchasing Power, that the State fails.

This has happened time and again throughout recorded history.

And it's happening again.

Right now. Across the Modern World.

But especially in Europe, the United States, and Japan.

These countries have accumulated so much debt--that is, they have borrowed, taxed, inflated, stolen, and spent their countrymen's Purchasing Power--and have grown so large, that their citizens' Purchasing Power is no longer able to sustain their grotesque girth.

Bitcoin--for the first time in recorded history--changes this dynamic.

It puts the Creation and Control of money directly and irrevocably into the hands of the People.

This means that the People get to remain in charge of their Purchasing Power--not the Aristocrats--for the first time in recorded history.

This is why it is Critical to keep the Bitcoin Network Decentralized and Secure... well away from those who would like to manipulate it to regain and restore the Creation and Control of your Purchasing Power.

Bitcoin is truly Better Money for a Better World, because it is Of the People, By the People, For the People.

This is a Once in a Species opportunity for lowly, hard-working, honest, regular people... so let's not blow it."

The criminal element seems to me to be a bit of a wild card with btc. The problem of the evil of the human heart is not remedied even with a better decentralized currency.
