There are evil people, but we now live in a world in which open communication and the transfer of information, including money, is now a matter of reality.
It is a fact.
So what happens?
Yes, because we already have greedy people killing people and bombing people because they have more resources.
That hasn't changed and never changed.
What we can do, however, is change the lots of billions of people who currently don't have economic inclusion.
We will not eradicate evil in the world by trying to control the flow of money, but we can eradicate evil by giving people opportunity and hope and prosperity across the world.

Cryptocurrency doesn't magically create money.
Yeah, that's not creating money from nothing.
That is the productive application of capital and investments by investors who believe that there's going to be a return, and maybe there won't be in some cases.

I think many people missed out on perhaps the initial run up for Bitcoin.
