Good point. There's a lot of emphasis in tech around "disrupting". While in general that leads to a ton of innovation and technological progress, I don't think disrupting fiat/the economy as we know it is as easy as a tech-driven payment alternative.
And just to be clear - I support the development and experimenting around Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency. I really believe there are yet-to-be-seen uses for the blockchain technology that could have severe, lasting impacts (hopefully for good!).
What I have a major problem with is the money-grubbers pushing the technology as a get-rich-quick scheme. It overshadows any discussion around progress or development and is just another way for the rich to get richer.
