First thing i should say, yes claims about EOS attacking Eth are really dumb imo... people just want to bash on EOS tbh... You should check out and register for some of the airdrops they are doing, just having 100 EOS doesn't make you registered to all of the EOS airdrops... you can see the ones that need you to register here...

Citizens will no longer be forced to use currencies that are controlled by the elite. The elite will no longer have the means to dilute our buying power with inflation.

So true! Still, taking the power from those elites is going to be hard, the elite have had the power for many decades, some for centuries, taking the power from them and giving it to the people is going to make them lash out sooner or later, and we will have to defend ourselves against them sooner or later...
