I guess there is that side of this, sure, kinda comes with the territory; it is far worse in 'crypto'-land though (i.e. everything that is not Bitcoin).
The point is that money is a tool we use to coordinate at a scale that is larger than a small tribe; and Bitcoin as a system provides the means to coordinate at global scale in way we could not do so before. The legacy system achieved global scale but its a layered cake of middle-men that allows for a whole bunch of fuckery, especially by those at the top of that structure.
I understand if you are skeptical towards a lot of the high-minded talk (summerized in 'Bitcoin fixes this', with 'this' being basically anything you can think of), and intepreting it as mere excuse making to cover up underlying greed; but i assure you thats not (always) the case.
So, go buy BTC and pump my bags pls
