When Bitcoin was created, the ambition was to be able to do without the existing banking and state systems that had completely perverted the global economy by allowing the creation of "toxic" financial products responsible for the crisis of which we are still today. not completely gone out. At the same time, the Lehman Brothers bank went out of business with thousands of employees falling apart, Societe Generale lost billions with the Kerviel affair and was hit hard by the subprime crisis. And at the same time, financial organizations that had felt the wind turn bets down on the markets allowing them to win huge sums on the backs of savers who had trusted their banker to buy these harmful products. On this last point, I invite you to watch the movie "The Big Short" which perfectly describes the subject.
What are the opposing positions?
Let's start with Bitcoin pros, among them there are different categories of followers:
First of all, you have libertarians who defend a totally liberal society in which the state has only one duty: to protect individuals so that they can exercise their property rights over themselves as well as over property they have legitimately acquired, for the rest it is the law of the strongest
You then have the bitcoiners of the first hour, those who adopted Bitcoin before everyone else, who bought them, who mined blocks in their garage, who are convinced of blockchain technology and who advocate for an economy.
Are present unfortunately the mafias and cybercriminals who found in Bitcoin a way to defraud people (ransomware) or simply to launder their dirty money earned in the sectors of drugs, prostitution, arms sales and the cyber anrnaque
There are also people and companies who first became interested in the blockchain before taking an interest in Bitcoin's economic and financial stakes.
