Poverty is the natural outcome of the neoliberal capitalist society that we live in. Our whole consumerist based model of existence, is rooted in the process of winners and losers: the rich exploit the poor and the cycle goes round.


Take for example when a poor nation needs help the most, the global elite will send in the Internal Monetary Fund under the guise of offering assistance.  The IMF will then pillage said country by selling off it's state industries to its friends for rock bottom prices so the rich can get richer and the poor get poorer.


This is why the equality and fairness of a decentralised form of currency such as Bitcoin is one of the greatest opportunities the world has encountered at closing the divide between the haves and have-nots.


A truly terrifying prospect to the old-money lot who have historically raped and pillaged the global other for their personal greed.


I,for one, hope Bitcoin succeeds to stick he proverbial 'two-fingers' up to these unsavoury characters.
