Bitcoin is perfect for them, another meme most people don&#39;t really understand they can sell as a &#34;hedge&#34;.&#xA;&#xA;So I don&#39;t understand the confidence of people who say &#34;this was always the plan. freedom money is inevitable&#34; It doesn&#39;t square up in any way I can see.&#xA;Doesn&#39;t BTC just end up a controlled asset like gold?&#xA;Ie, something many people *supposedly own but nobody actually takes custody of?&#xA;Gold is &#34;hard money&#34; (Monero is harder but I digress) and it doesn&#39;t matter AT ALL to the greater financial space.&#xA;How is Bitcoin going to end up differently?</html></oembed>
