Not just authority over money but more importantly trust over money. The fiat currency is full of trust abuse.
I totally agreed on this , Fiat nowadays(Specially to us who knows how crypto moves on) is being abused by the government and the Banking system.
But what choice do the people have? Nothing because the fiat currency is the currency that is enforced upon them by the government.
Nope that is wrong, people has choice and that is Bitcoin and crypto currencies mate.
The people can do nothing but trust the system. The result is that their trust is being breached all the time. Thus Satoshi created a currency that is trustless. Bitcoin was born because of this.
People now are more knowledgeable , we tend to understand what is the world tells us and thanks for the internet, because this teach us more and many.
In 2022 Bitcoin has seen lots of massive adoption and the Ukraine invasion is just one of the numerous breakthroughs bitcoin has had in past decades folllowing the bitcoin donations from exchanges. Bitcoin has left the shackles of been refrained to just a store of value to it's original purpose of creation been for transaction on a peer to peer network. At the moment we still suffer a price fluctuaution but hopes are we might have a more stable bull run in future
maybe you are talking about 2021 mate instead of 2022? because massive adoption happens that year and not this year.
