Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has expressed her view that Bitcoin serves as a means to strip governments of their authority. According to Truss, bureaucrats are well aware that Bitcoin poses a threat to their power, which explains their animosity towards it.
This perspective is rooted in the notion that money predates the state, and Bitcoin's existence further separates the two, ultimately undermining the state's control.
In essence, Bitcoin's decentralized nature has the potential to render the state obsolete.
