I would require to be excused, I'm from Europe and I visited the USA 25 years ago.
Pardon me if I am wrong but the history of USA is 241 years old. Yes indeed USA is a good example of democracy, but when a known political men of USA was saying "The most democratic country in the world", an European comentator was writing "I wonder what the 5000 years old Greek democracy would say about this"
USA is not a bad country at all, it is the learning child of the Europe and to say that in bad times poeple come back to government (because the history tells this) is too much. In Math (Statistics) one needs a certain number of data to be certain on a conclusion and 241 years is not sufficient to say this.
I would say that bitcoin was created to bring people together and prosperity in the world. Yes it has not been tested in bad times yet, but we all want that it will
survive and endure the worst things that sometimes history reserves to good things. For all people good and for the world's prosperity.
