Bitcoin was indeed founded by libertarians who believed the loss of the gold standard was the beginning of the end of western civilisation.
It’s a weird belief but - what if they’re right ? What if it did cause a lot of the problems ? Maybe not directly, but by freeing the state from a boundary-setting limiter it somehow corrupted it?
I don’t know the answer but Bitcoin is a bet that it did cause problems. And so far it’s a winning bet.
