What? Is this a joke? Bitcoin was created by a nobody with no money. Same with litecoin, same with ether, etc etc. In the 1890's and before most currency was created by banks, not governments, and this only changed with the introduction of the modern federal reserve. I'm honestly sort of surprised the NYT would write such a bad piece; their opinion section has really gone downhill in the last few years.
