This passage is taken from a presentation by Roger Ver at Coin Congress in Singapore, May 2014. I made this short to test production methods for a longer piece I'm working on called Bitcoin for the Intelligent Layperson.

I'm pretty open about my philosophy. I consider myself a voluntarist, and that means that I think that human beings should be allowed to do absolutely anything they want so long as it's peaceful, and they shouldn't be allowed to use aggressive violence against anybody else. And I don't make exceptions for groups of people, and especially not for groups of people who get together and put on uniforms and work in buildings that happen to have flags out in front of them. And one of the things that really upsets me the most about the world that I live in is I see governments, and they have this thing called fiat currency that they completely control.
And not only do they control it, but they can print as much of it as they want at any time. And then they use that money to build all sorts of tanks and bombs and airplanes and murder people all over the world. And all that's being paid for by printing money. And with Bitcoin, because there's a limited supply, that sort of thing can't happen in the world.
And so I see a world in which everybody is using Bitcoin as just a much, much, much happier and peaceful and safer world for every single human being on the planet. Thank you.
