What is the motivation for the western world to create Bitcoin?
Perhaps to lure people into a new "safe haven" instead of investing in gold and silver. Precious metals are scarce and demand is higher than world production. So the western vaults are getting cleaned out to satisfy demand in the east. It would certainly delay the process.
Another motivation is to prepare the population for a cashless society in order to implement Negative interest so no one can take out the money from the bank anymore? With negative interest the gigantic burden of world debt is manageable.
Just to be clear: I do think everybody needs to be somewhat invested in crypto!
