My opinion is that the current system of an inflationary currency is tyranny. It's a harsh word, used in order to get strong reactions. Let me be even more clear and more harsh. The US Dollar and the systems that create it and support it is destroying civilization, and it's time we said that out loud.
If I put $100 into a bank, it should be able to buy $100 worth of goods and services in 1 year, 10 years, 100 years. Period. The reason it can't do that today is because we have an inflationary currency that loses purchasing power over time, and that's a failure of design and implementation. There are reasons why such a system might be desirable for certain groups of people or institutions, but the cost of such a system is too high for everyone else.
It is possible to design a system that would be able to maintain purchasing power over years or decades. But it would take the full cooperation of everyone on the planet to make it work properly. And no matter how much we yell "why can't we all just get along", it's just not going to happen. So the ONLY alternative is a fixed supply monetary foundation, and the changes that come with it.
The next few years or decades is going to see the implementation of that system, no matter what we think. Because it is the only path in front of us. We can delay getting on that path, but that's not going to work forever. As of today, everyone who is invested in the stock market in any capacity is invested in Bitcoin. There is no way to escape, resistance is futile.
So learn about it, ask questions, yell and scream at the brick walls, whatever. The future is coming whether we are ready for it or not.
