Yes, governments have acted to support corporate interests. No, money itself is not to blame. Salt and even cowrie shells were a medium of exchange once, bitcoin may become one, but the game won't change.

I don't suppose we'll even get one of these:

β€œThis is the operative statement. The others are inoperative.” -- 1973 announcement by Richard Nixon’s press secretary, Ron Ziegler, effectively admitted to the mendacity of all previous statements issued by the White House.

Remember the Orange Menace last May?

β€œThe so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves,” Trump said.
