      I’m not saying that, rather I’m saying that I don’t see how either thing is clearly morally superior.

        Bitcoin is open-source software, a network of nodes running Bitcoin core, the source code for which you can find here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

        Morals are a consequence of free will, which Bitcoin does not have. There are valid moralistic concerns about Bitcoin, but they are related to the impact of Bitcoin, rather than whether it is a moral system.

          But I don’t want any financial tools not controlled by the government. Thats some kind of anarchist and libertarian utopia that doesnt work in practice.

            The central governance is the code. It’s great you feel fully represented by the traditional finance system, but literally most of the world isn’t.
