The financial story of our time? That's it?
Cryptocurrency is also the technology story of the century, and the defining socio-political story of the information age.
I say this with no hyperbole, no exaggeration: Bitcoin is the greatest invention since the internet itself.
Just as the internet did, Bitcoin is going to alter our world in ways most of us can't even yet fathom.
Really, I think it is more about the Blockchain technology (and what will follow) than it is about bitcoin.
But who knows? Bitcoin is more financial and the blockchain is all encompassing.
Over the centuries people have been controlled in just a few ways.
What comes to mind is information and money (and coercion of course). The printing press and recently
the internet changed the monopoly on information and now Bitcoin and cryptos are changing the monopoly
on money. And perhaps more importantly it is getting people to question what is money.
