Whenever someone claims "Bitcoin is the digital currency of the future" I never argue about the future part, just the present.
That's a keen observation
Well, there was never an emerging technology which didn't have its bumps. Do you think Bitcoin 1.0 will come with super-advanced price-stability features? That would be rad
Bitcoin will likely end up exactly like everything else is right now, with people trusting groups of people like centralized exchanges instead of individuals (safety in numbers) and organizations using social pressures to control everything. It's human nature.
Bitcoin doesn't change the world, people do, and education changes people. I don't doubt that Bitcoin is a very good tool for education, though I fear the ones receiving the bulk of the education are the ones losing money in it.
