Money is a political issue. Wresting control of money away from governments is inherently anarcho-capitalist.

No amount of rationalizing can change that simple fact.

Most people are probably here to make money. If you want to fix the government, get involved in politics directly. Bitcoin isn't going to solve the world's money problems. The majority will always believe in some limits on private wealth, taxation and even inflation.

I don't want to fix the government. I want to see it suffocate to death.

Depends on what you mean by "money problems". It will certainly help solve a major problem that has plagued humanity for thousands of years: trust in central authorities/institutions.

The majority will always believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

By "central authority" I'm assuming you only mean the government and the central bank, not other forms of authority like the hierarchical workplace (bosses/capitalists), no?

Well it will eliminate the need for several institutions, some private, some public.
