How can Bitcoin solve societal problems caused by capitalism?
How can Bitcoin solve societal problems caused by capitalism? While trying to explain Bitcoin to a friend, her response was: To me this sounds like just an other monetary system which can be speculated on while making some people rich and keeping others poor. How does it attempt to solve deep rooted problems in our society caused by globalisation and capitalism? She was of course referring to geographic and social inequalities, exploitation of workers, political oppression, depletion of natural resources, etc. What are some of the ways decentralised proof-of-work currencies (and their underlying protocols) can work to improve these aspects of our society? http://ift.tt/2l8bfHr
