Here's an unpopular opinion: Bitcoin itself is not the whole revolution. As I explore Bitcoin and listen to others in the space I hear second order ideas that I feel are a big piece of the puzzle. Starting a business, adding value to the system, building strong communities, and more are the engine. Bitcoin is great and preserves value and earnings overtime, but preserving without building is not worth much.

I have some concerns about those who think that bitcoin is the whole equation. I dare say that someone who buys bitcoin, then converts back to dollars to engage in trader and commerce gains nothing and might even value in the trade between the systems.
