Bitcoin was created to make people independent of banking sectors for sending money.People have found bitcoin as a great invention which has freed them from hands of governments and banks.I do agree that governments and banks are trying to create their own crypto currencies.But even if they do so,i don;t think that people would like to fall once again in to the traps of governments who would wish to control people once again.Its already said that Ripple has been created by banking sectors to compete with bitcoins.Thats why some banks support ripple even if they don't support other cryptos.I hope that people would love to enjoy financial freedom given by cryptos.

Most people have no concept of the true meaning of freedom, let alone how it relates to their finances. Not only that, if one tries to teach them they'll resort to cognitive dissonance and call you a "conspiracy theorist" or some other stupid slur.

Realist, you sure do have a stark view of things. Very sobering thoughts. I do especially like your coined term of "cognitive dissonance" . It fits well within Maslows hierarchy of needs. The avg being can handle only so much part by design and part by evolution. I admit I do get a case of that, when discussions about dark matter, black holes and time warps occur. So I think many choose to dissociate from such topics when the fear of the unknown is that great.
