Bitcoin and other peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies threaten the world banking system. It will be difficult for you to convince anyone critical of the world banking system to be critical of bitcoin. They will think you are a disinfo agent working on behalf of the families who own the bank/debts. How do you counter this possibility? How can we trust you at such great risk to our current perspectives? How will you persuade us to do or believe something beneficial to what manhy perceive as the greatest enemy?

Godspeed.
