This article raised some very interesting points through comparing the movement to religion and the fact that the peoples wealth is affected makes it that much more potent.

I'm still optimistic because I think that the current way the world runs is not going to work in the long run. Something radical has to change or we will destroy the planet. I don't know if Bitcoin will play a role in this and if it's going to be positive or negative but things need to change.

I have two specific points in the articles that didn't make sense.

1. Bitcoin whales can only affect the price of Bitcoin. They have no power over Bitcoin itself.

2. The article also makes the point that Bitcoin is weakening local currencies (fiat) which doesn't make sense since inflation is mostly driven by money printing and other economic factors.
