All very valid questions to bring up Hive account@adsactly.

I think it is going to be a combination of the two for a few years. There is going to be a tug-o-war going on between the traditional and the disruptive. Cryptocurrency is that disruptive force. People are already starting to create and produce more which benefits then directly as opposed to a huge corporation. We will continue to see this shift.

Bitcoin isnt the only game in town which is a good thing. Back in 2013, bitcoin was really the only name. Now we have many legit coins. Also, and most importantly, we are learning the process. People are going to realize money is created out of thin air. That is a big difference. Once people start to understand that process, they are going to be on the path to freedom.

Is Bitcoin the sacred cow? No. It is one path. If the elite buy it up, the rest of the populous can switch to something else. The possibilities for legitimate currency is endless.

You post brings up a valid point....the establishment isnt going to go easy. They will fight tooth and nail.
