Why would people who control a money printer invent an independent currency with a hard cap enforced by energy? You think the CIA or whatever solved the byzantine fault/double spend problem in computer science, which is something only an Einstein level intellect could do, so that an open source, transparent money that can't be censored or easily seized, could compete with their surveillance currency they print out of thin air? They've outlawed and paper traded gold to stop it for decades, and they can't do that with Bitcoin. Why the hell would they want to threaten their money printer? Go do some research, learn how it actually works, these posts are ridiculous.
