Policy decisions from the most mundane regulations like pet licensure to the big ones like the bank bailouts after the fall of Lehman Bros. pushed the alliance of hard-money advocates and cryptography experts together to form Bitcoin.

From its earliest days, Bitcoin advocates understood why they were spending their time developing its infrastructure.  They wanted a way out of the system created by what I consider the superstructure of world capital movements.  Alex Jones calls it the "Globalists," others the "Atlanticists" and the alt-right just calls it "The Jews."

None of these are adequate descriptions of who/what this group of international power-brokers, financiers, old money, secret societies, et cetera are.  But their over-arching goal is what the modern Marxists rightly identify as the accumulation of nearly unlimited power.
