    BTC/crypto is “revolutionary” in the original sense (I owe this to Mike Duncan’s podcast series). Before the French Revolution, the term meant “regime change” - the people at the top were replaced , but the system remained intact. Coiners don’t want to overthrow capitalism, they just want to replace the current people in charge with themselves.
