I agree that innovation is good and cryptocurrency is innovative. Jack Rasmus (economist) wrote a great book "Looting Greece" of which I read the first 10%. Rasmus argues that Greece has been subjected by the EU to financial imperialism and colonial-like wealth extraction. In essence it has been conquered. I don't see how cryptocurrency is useful in preventing a group of elites from conquering another. In practice, it only changes who the elites are.
