Problem: lack of freedom to jaywalk
Solution: Bitcoin!

No mention of the actual problem which is lack of freedoms (e.g. of capital). Bitcoin solves that quite differently and handily. It allows Chinese capital to flee the country. It's probably what creates most of the long term demand for cryptocurrencies in general.

What happens when the world's monetary systems fall apart? With the Federal Reserve Bank, among others, dealing in bogus money which is backed by trust and manipulation, something's got to give. There's already a theory out there that govs should just print whatever they want and not worry about debt.

I do all the transactions I can by cash. It's a complete loss of freedom when one's financial transactions are tracked. And younger generations think it's the way it should be.

A cruise ship is a cashless society, except if you leave optional tips. I don't spend anything on board because of that. Amazing; it doesn't creep hardly anyone out.
