Isn't it ironic that the libertarian bitcoiners, champions of laissez-faire capitalism, are betting all their life savings on the hope that the Satoshi Bitcoin will be one day the only cryptocurrency in the market, so that they can charge monopoly prices for it?

That's not my motivation at all. I want fair money. Bitcoin is the only fair money since gold. The problem with gold is that you can't use it on the internet. One day, I hope Bitcoin and gold will be the last form of money needed to advance our civilization to the next level of development.
