In an interview with Simply Bitcoin, macro analysts Lyn Alden broke down why the government doesn’t want Bitcoin to become widely adopted and how Bitcoin can disrupt the power structure. Alden explained that because the current system has no transparency, governments can run at a deficit without most understanding what’s going on, print the difference, and leave us footing the bill via taxes. This lack of transparency and broadening of the currency clearly devalues the savings of the general population on a year-to-year basis, but Alden argues it’s deeper than that. Alden believes, if there was more transparency in the monetary system, wars would happen less, the legislation would change, and fiscal responsibility would change. Governments wouldn’t be so eager to spend, knowing there are checks and balances to their spending. In Alden’s view, the transparency of Bitcoin, and the scarcity of Bitcoin (if adopted at a large scale) can be the great equalizer for the people.
