“I’ve just left the Liberty Forum in New Hampshire as the proud owner of three types of nonpaper, nongovernmental monies. They operate in competition with the government’s dollar. Yes, these include Bitcoin, the mind-blowing digital currency that has techno-geeks, edgy global traders, and even the World Bank buzzing about its potential to finally separate money from the state. Why are people working on alternative forms of money? It’s all about escaping a 100-year-old trend. Depression, war, and deliberate debasement have left us with a dollar that is a mere shadow of its former self.”
