We are simply sidestepping the FED. Let them have their imaginary money. We don't need to tear it down. We just need to continue to advocate this alternative money.

A designed to centralize, non-fungible, permissioned ledger is not even close to money. It is the opposite of money - a tracking and control grid, not something to facilitate a free market or any type of freedom in general. The only type of system bitcoin can facilitate is a police state where every transaction is monitored, blacklists are deployed, and the state is empowered even more so than now. If you support shitcoins over physical metals, you support empowering the state, period.

Imaginary tokens are not a store of value, nor are they a real commodity, which is required to be a commodity currency, being a real commodity in the first place, nor do they have any fundamentals or characteristics of money in comparison to physical silver or gold. You are a liar who is shilling for a pump and dump you bought into for self interest is the only real truth. Some people call this "cognitive dissonance", which is the polite way of saying someone is full of shit.

If nothing else it IS creating awareness that money can be something other than fiat govt/bank issued debt! Genie is out the bottle. Maybe one day you'll be right and it will lead to physical silver bullion. Or maybe crypto will manage to do the job. It is Open Source. ie free to modify. free to improve. for the people. If bankers where behind it I don't think they would like the fact they don't have a QE print button.
