I wonder what the Stoics would have thought about Bitcoin and its properties. That would be cool to read.

The criticism he made about the oligarchy leads to democracy. The interests of the majority would prevail and end up sidelining the rights and desires of the minority.  Who holds the most power in a society? Those who have greater wealth

I also condemn interest especially when someone promises interest on your Bitcoin. It rather seemed to me that Aristotle was expressly critical of all people. Your analysis is as if he'd only touched on the issue of Oligarchy and didn't express the problems of democracy. 

To keep this brief I just think I'd need for those claims to be a little more substantiated
