"The only difference I have with the cash and gold crowd is that I think Bitcoin and digital currency is going to eventually move in and become an enormously important store of value. I don't think it's a temporary phenomenon at all. I think it's a very attractive future for those of us who believe in freedom because if you want to be free then you want to be out from underneath the banks."

I wholeheartedly agree with Col McGregor's sentiment. Bitcoin and digital currencies are reshaping the financial landscape, providing a crucial alternative to traditional centralized institutions. We the people are given greater autonomy over our finances, free from clunky bureaucracy, restrictive regulation, exorbitant fees and devaluation enforced by centralized powers with hidden agendas.

Bitcoin is an investment for our future resilience from socio-political contagions that tend harm our dependence on centralized banks unnecessarily crippling everyday citizens wellbeing during hard times. We live in fascinating times where we see the rise of crypto wielding users generating ongoing buzz over its undeniable usefulness without proving susceptible to commandeering by those who often grind deregulated but unstoppable initiatives in virtual finance.

As individuals working towards realizing a more decentralized economy, we must eliminate elitist attempts aimed at marginalizing or restricting cryptocurrencies; for mass decentralization starts with decimating monopolistic powers. 

Agreed. My now local mayor is a Bitcoiner. Before she won her election, she tapped my shoulder when Missouri legislators introduced a House Bill that would have created a very clear path towards CBDCs becoming legally defined as “money” in the Uniform Commercial Code. I wrote and called the members of the General Laws Committee and ultimately the Bill died and has made no further progress through the legislative process.
