1. IT'S A DECENTRALIZED CURRENCY
Let's all open up our history books and see when the 99% won against the 1%? Almost never, and even when they did win it was basically the 1% handing off power to another form, and still running it behind the scenes just to appease the people.
Why would anyone want to open the history books? The 1% who won wrote and published them. There are so many lies scattered among the truth in the history books, that it's hard to tell what the truth was!
Of course, this is the same reason that Bitcoin and the Internet stand a chance of winning. After all, when you take freedom away from the people, the people don't flourish for you. So what do you do? You give them the illusion of freedom so that they work hard for you, and in doing so, you give them some real freedom.
What happens next is that the people start to want more freedom. But you can't ever give them the illusion of 100% freedom without giving them 100% freedom. This is why the 1% ultimately fail every time.
