I don't see it that way. The Bailey Building & Loan is actually closer to Bitcoin ideals—it's decentralized (family-owned), transparent about where money goes, and serves the community instead of extracting wealth upward.

Potter's the real villain representing what Bitcoiners hate: centralized control and rent-seeking. He's crony capitalism meets central banking.

George's speech about money staying in the community vs going to Potter? That's anti-fractional reserve. He's saying their deposits go into real assets (homes and loans) that support the community, not speculation.

When people can't pay their loans, George doesn't kick them out—he believes in them, and even uses his own honeymoon money to keep the community afloat—and out of the hands of Potter.

The movie isn't banking propaganda—it shows productive community lending vs parasitic wealth extraction. George's model is much closer to peer-to-peer than Potter's centralized empire.
