I read and know at least a dozen of conspiracy theories about Bitcoin... but this is something new.
Actually, if you are early adopter, you must embrace such a theory and hope to be true. Then you will have significant monetary power.
It is sad, but true, that the elites will always control the world, as long as most people don't really understand the basics of money.
But not all is lost. I believe strongly that, for every bit of additional awareness by the public, the elites will suffer a bit more constraint. It will be a very long struggle but it will eventually be won.
The elites are unbeatable. Even if you defeat some of them, another people will appear and become the new elite. I'm not blaming rich people, I'm blaming those who want to make the maintenance of precariousness in the world to continue ruling it. Those who keep people ignorant and imbecilized.
At least with Crypto-Currency we have a decentralized system that makes the monetary communication among people from different countries easier and cheaper, but once this decentralization is over, all the rest is over too... And if you see, most people are alienated about it, less than 2% or 3% of world's population uses Crypto-Currency, how could the elites lose power with so insignifcant numbers against them?
