The author of The Mandibles just wrote #Bitcoin out of existence with a one liner:

“The dollar is a historied currency that’s stabilized the international economy for over a century, Wilbur. The bancor is an upstart pretender whose constraints are unworkably strict. We just have to hold our nerve. After all—look at what happened to bitcoin.”

But she kinda had to do it. A world with Bitcoin would have turned out quite different. The populace was only victimized because they were trapped in fiat.
