Hi elianite
Second year politics ... I would suggest you direct your search toward debasement of currencies,
as that seems to attract a lot of political attention. You probably know this already, but it is
worth repeating:
You could start by emptying your pockets and wallet - how much do you own?
Those bits of paper are merely promises that you do not own. Your coins have an
intrinsic value - US nickels are worth more as metal than the purchasing power of the coin.
Do you own your car? or merely pay off a loan? Similarly for your house?
And "your" money in the bank - is a promise that the bank will pay you after they have paid
people earlier in the queue.
But if you own bitcoin, they are undisputably yours. Those and your coins are all you own.
As for bitcoin transforming the world, it depends on the question you ask and when you ask it.
BTW - Have a look at the first couple of entries in the blockchain ;-)

For some historical information on currency debasement, have a look at my thread in the economics section.
Hopefully, you now know what questions to avoid :-)
