Bitcoin is money.

Money is a whole different animal than "Information" (the internet).

Comparisons between Bitcoin and the Internet should be spoken with that important distinction in mind.

Free exchange of Information is something that was already protected by laws. So the internet's growth happened naturally and without much resistance.

If we lived in a world where information was outlaw-able, controlled by 3-6 major corporations, or poised to nullify the relevance of major financial institutions, then the internet would've had a much different path.

The path Bitcoin is going to be taking.

Money is just a means to power. Information is power.
And information is 'protected' to greater and lesser depending on what country you are in. The internet has had a huge impact on the relationship between government and citizen in many countries already.
