The real reason economists and bankers hate Bitcoin: If Bitcoin works (and it does), then: - 5 years of finance degrees were unnecessary - $40,000 in student debt was spent learning a broken system - Careers were built on middlemen being necessary - Decades of advice about “trusting institutions” was flawed - Entire professional identities collapse It’s easier to dismiss Bitcoin as “a scam” or “too risky” than to admit the monetary system is rigged and outdated. This isn’t about technology. It’s about ego protection. Economists and bankers who do acknowledge Bitcoin’s value are the ones secure enough to admit they were taught the wrong playbook.(Bitcoin for Freedom)
