Sure but Bitcoin, whatever the advantages, is still a currency and open to whatever "ism" is in fashion. The problem isn't the currency just as guns, hammers and chain saws are tools and not the murderer. Whether it is wampum beads, sea shells, trade items, labor exchange or Bitcoin we are in trouble without a vast and massive cultural change. We have met the enemy and it is us. No nation, no form of economy, no currency, no form of politics can save us from this. The founding ancestors of the United States got it partly right until the Civil War but the parts they got wrong were serious enough to reap the consequences we inherit today.
