A key decision for every person in the world to make everyday for the next ~20 years is which money to trust. Money controlled by unaccountable politicians? Or money guaranteed by an incorruptible protocol?

This isn't a decision people will make once and be done. They will have to choose every time they transact. Every time they remember money. Every time they awake in the night with the question on their mind again.

Money is a language of value. It takes time to speak a new language. More and more the world will learn to speak Bitcoin because the other languages are corrupted. Bitcoin is incorruptible and unstoppable.

What kind of idiot thinks central banks have proven trustworthy at all? We can trust them to inflate currency, exploit people with usury and generally screw us all over.

I've got cousins trying to argue that Bitcoin is hopeless because people will choose to trust central banks every time. You're right, it's idiocy. But as I dig into their perspective, it seems their view is mostly founded on short term thinking. "People don't understand Bitcoin, so they won't trust it." That's the inspiration for this long term thought experiment I'm presenting here.

Most people still don’t even know there’s an alternative to national banks. If they read his quote there, it might help break the spell.
