In non-democratic regimes, governments are unwilling to abandon their national currency. The reason is not simply economic; the main issue is the power structure. When it is possible to create money without backing, this tool becomes the main engine of the system; a tool for financing costs, transferring wealth from the community to the center of power, and distributing resources among groups close to the governance structure! In such a model, inflation is not an “error”; it is part of the system’s design. The devaluation of the national currency is a cost that is gradually passed on to the general public in order to maintain financial stability at the center. For this reason, it is not easy for governments to abandon such a tool. Because it means losing an important lever of economic control. As a result, #Bitcoins that operate outside this control loop usually face restrictions or illegalization; not because they are simply dangerous, but because they have the potential to replace the system.

Critical thinking begins with this simple principle: Assume that everything those in power have told you is a lie, because it probably is. Assume that everything the masses believe to be true is a lie, because it probably is.
