The world is broken =(

Almost Everybody is addicted to money...

Money lets us tell other people what to do, regardless of whether it is good or bad (and it's usually the latter)

There is also a select few, being so ludicrously rich, that becoming richer is almost impossible... For them there is only one option; in order to become even richer and more powerful, they must drive the rest of the world into poverty...

Enter the global financial crisis, etc etc...

Money, and specific currencies is/are trust. If someone doesn't trust a system, they don't have to use it. If an economy is to be sustained, some form of currency must exist (otherwise it's just barter trading) - if you think some particular currency can be regulated, and thus is corruptable or already corrupt, all you have to do is use a currency which does not have those bad traits, one example could be BitCoin, although surely it's not the only option available. Well, this would be fine, in principle, but in practice, the world is too entrenched in government controlled currencies, thus such a migration will take time, if it is ever to succeed. Not that anyone prevents fractional reverse banking in BC, but you'd have to be a fool not to recognize the risks involved and collapses would be likely to happen a lot sooner, if people decided to rely on such systems.
