Before the birth of Bitcoin, we never thought that private individuals could issue currency, nor did we think that digital currency could truly be used as a payment medium, let alone the rationality of the existence of legal currency. But when Bitcoin was born, everything changed.
Private money as a concept existed long before Bitcoin, I know that Hayek envisioned them, but maybe there are even earlier examples. And digital payments have existed long before Bitcoin too.
We began to doubt the monetary exploitation of us by government agencies. We began to think about the irrationality of various centralized financial institutions. We started fighting for our currency independence. We began to use Bitcoin to protect our wealth from inflation. We began to think about all kinds of injustices in society.
It didn't start with Bitcoin, ever since the fiat system was established, there were people who opposed it.
Bitcoin is in many ways revolutionary, but it's no the first in literally everything it does.
