Could you indicate to me a single currency? They all seem more like "free
money" schemes. Free as in beers, not as in freedom. Bitcoin remains the
primary contender for freedom.

I agree it isn't a currency. But it fulfills the exact same role in its
current shape. Not vert fairly, but go cry somewhere else. Maybe start your
own coin? Or a hippy commune in India (seriously). Bottom line: get over
it, early adapters are rich.

You can still be early (I think) but a lot less than those that were
earlier.
