> and (for better or worse)
I'm not making a judgement about its merits, it might end up horrible.
All I'm saying is, there is a trend towards denationalized currency as a hedge against bad monetary policy. Based on this trend something like BTC will likely become the new gold standard used for slow transactions (i.e. reconciliation) between governments and large corporations.
Will it be BTC? I don't know. Will it be a good thing? I don't know.
I do know, the trend suggests a particular future, and trying to root out the motivations suggest the trend will continue.
