It's kind of embarrassing that a supposedly world beating phenomenon is being squabbled over like WoW raid gone wrong. I'm looking to the day where they're an irrelevance.
You mean to say they're actually relevant now?

The idea that Bitcoin will cause a global economic collapse or that it will seize the power from the mostly unnamed "corrupt elites" is laughable.
A digital currency won't seize the means of production. It has zero chance of changing military hierarchies. A digital currency by itself is incapable of "totally changing the world."
Any advance of cryptocurrencies to seize large %'s of global markets will require old money to get on-board.... more or less rendering the anti-establishment rhetoric impotent.
