"But the reality is Bitcoin is a political project that threatens to fundamentally disrupt the Davos-led economic system, with everyone from Janet Yellen to Christine Lagarde expressing fear about its rise and demanding it be regulated."
Enough with the inanity.
BTC's are numbers traded between speculators for no reason other than speculation.
Aside from the potential for money laundering, just ignore it, it's irrelevant.
It's power is it's own PR, generated through ever more ridiculous claims to valuation.
