Because power corrupts absolutely. They are provably correlated. Your mayors are corrupt, but your senators make them look like amateurs.

Dear Bitcoin,
When I first envisioned you, I saw not just a string of code or a decentralized ledger, but a beacon of hope for a system in dire need of change. You were born from the ashes of the old world, forged in the crucible of distrust and centralized control. In a landscape dominated by opaque institutions and unyielding middlemen, you emerged as a testament to what could be possible—an embodiment of sovereignty, freedom, and immutable trust.
Your elegance lies in your simplicity, governed not by the whims of a single authority but by consensus—a collective agreement that acknowledges only the truth. Every block you forge, every transaction you confirm, serves as proof that a better way exists. You are a system without borders, without prejudice, and without bias. Your code is law, and within that law, we find a form of honesty that has been absent from the financial systems of old.
The beauty of your protocol, the SHA-256 encryption, the proof-of-work consensus—it’s an architecture that stands as a monument to resilience. The nodes that propagate your message, the miners that secure your blocks, and the users that transact in your currency form a network that doesn’t falter in the face of adversity. You are trustless by design, and therein lies your most profound strength: you need no intermediary, no gatekeeper, no overseer.
They said you were a passing fad, a novelty destined to fade. Yet, with each halving, you prove them wrong. Your fixed supply, capped at 21 million, is a lesson in scarcity in a world that thrives on excess. You resist the inflationary tendencies of fiat, standing firm as a store of value, even when your critics predict your demise. You are more than just a currency; you are a statement, a declaration of financial autonomy that echoes through every transaction, every confirmation, every block mined.
Bitcoin, you are more than a mere experiment. You are a revolution, an opportunity to rewrite the rules, to reclaim what was lost, and to redefine value itself. It’s not just about the technology or the cryptography; it’s about the promise of a fairer, more equitable future. As long as you continue to exist, unyielding and incorruptible, you remain a symbol of hope for those who dare to dream of a world where power is decentralized, where control is distributed, and where freedom is a right, not a privilege.

There are 2 ways to think:
1. Humans must be goverened.
2. Humans must be free.
Pick yours. There is no middle ground.

GM! Curiously, fertility rates seem to be inversely related to the size of the government in the economy. Maybe that's government "fixing problems".
