In honesty, Ryan Anders had never cared about Bitcoin.
Not in the way tech evangelists spoke of it, with their half-mad sermons about decentralization and the downfall of fiat currency.
Not in the way degenerate gamblers pumped their life savings into it, praying for a miracle.
Not even in the way of common slight interest, maybe to even check it out, to decide for himself.
All of it to him — Ryan Anders — wasn't a revolution. It was a symptom.
A symptom of desperation. Of fools believing they could outsmart the system rather than learn to control it.
The creation of Bitcoin and the idea of cryptocurrency was simply drawn out of laziness. Those who involved themselves with it, were terrified of capital investments, investment in infrastructure, goods, physical commodities.
"What even is it?" Ryan asked. "Just numbers on a screen. You can't touch it, you can't see it. Real wealth is something you can hold in your hand, like land or gold."
