Not only congress, but the central government. It's the same story over and over. All governments eventually get themselves trapped in downward spiraling debt cycle and wind up debasing whatever currency is being used - even if gold or silver.

The ONLY solution is to put the power of the purse into the hands of the people - the ones who have the most to lose. This technology might just make that possible. At least that's what I would hope would happened, and on a global scale. Money is indeed the "ROOT" of evil. The more it can be kept out of the hands of a few, the better!

1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

It’s the love of money that is a root of evil. Money can be used for good purposes as well as bad purposes so it is the intent of a person that makes the use of money turn out to be bad or good.
