The literal meaning of perestroika is "restructuring", referring to the restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system.
As bitcoin continues its inevitable rise to its place as the world's most liquid and best-managed currency, how many financial institutions will be made "redundant"? These are the words of BNP Paribas, largest French bank, not me. What will happen when the center of world finance moves rapidly from London, New York, and Hong Kong to Silicon Valley? How many gatekeepers will find themselves without a gate to lean on? How many cryptocurrency enthusiasts will find themselves on the NEW global richlist, like the hundreds and thousands of New Russians who emerged from the ashes of the Soviet Union?
Are you ready for the change that is coming? How do you believe it will happen? Are the old financial elite so powerful that they will manipulate bitcoin and remain in control? Or will they go the way of Kodak?
I think that bitcoin will have a very big role in entire world and first of all in the economies of the world (playing one role greater than the perestroika of Gorbachev) but with one condition. Must be known and regulated by every single country. Or at least from the most powerful of those. If it will not be recognized as a currency and will have a doubtful status like the actual one will have no great impact but only secondary one.
But while bitcoin need a condition to make true its historical role, the technology which produced it has already the status of the divine technology and is well known as a disruptive for many field of technologies. This technology there were be applied and known every day more and more. I think that this technology will protect and made bitcoin to play its role in the future. If this future is near or not, this remain to be seen.
