Richard Branson et al cannot come out and simply say so, but btc is a direct challenge to the centralised power structures.
Look at the actions of the new money billionaires like Branson and Gates, they spend billions trying to make the world a better place.
The old money like the rothschilds who own the banking system, and many other things, rely on centralised power structures to maintain their position.
The new money billionaires like Gates, Branson etc make more money with further decentralisation.
For people who think the Rothschilds are not hugely powerful you only have to see how one junior 30 year old family member gets exposedi n a multibillion dollar trade deal involving russian oligarchs, members of parliament etc to imagine what his father/uncles are up to.
The old money rely on centralised power structures, such as the CIA/military industrial complex. A recent example was Gadaffi, they fund him, they put him into power, they allow him to accumulate the worlds largest fortune (500 bn) and then when he's no longer useful they kill him off, and none of his fortune is recovered. All those hundreds of billions he thought he'd safely stashed in their offshore banks, siphoned off by the old money.
Old money make money by destruction and control, new money make money thru freedom and enterprise.
There is a war on, and decentralisation is the trenches. Bitcoin is but one tool.
Interesting post. Like how old business and new business run things differently (e.g. clocking in and clocking out vs 20% time)
