If technology can be an art form, then Bitcoin is beautiful art. And art, like science, can be divinely inspired. If we can observe that the use of Bitcoin can lead to less wickedness and more virtue, then that should give us pause. I don't know if we can see that, yet, but it does seem to tend that way. Fiat use, especially, seems corrupting. Like there's a curse hafted to it.
Although, some people are just greedy and Bitcoin doesn't cure that. Unfortunately.
