Interesting read. Bitcoin certainly is an interesting anthropological phenomenon! As pointed out by the article sophisticated economy relies upon MoE to enable complexity and Bitcoin now provisions an alternative to the state imposed fiat monopoly that has become dominant. The state clearly does not want Bitcoin to develop as a serious competitor to their fiat money because their fiat hegemony gives the state and the bankers so much power and leverage. Power corrupts and fiat money has corrupted our politics and monetary system. The politicians and bankers have too much power and leverage - restore a free market to money and fix the crony capitalist politics that are destroying our economies and societies!
