Thats a fair point but why should I believe in bitcoin not another crypto ledger? The idea is fine, and the idea of a validatable record is great, but why should I support this one?
However, regarding the philosophy: Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. That's a remarkable choice, because the prevailing economic wisdom is that inflation is a good thing because it keeps the money flowing rather than being hoarded. So most people probably wouldn't support Bitcoin's economic theory if given the choice.
It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
