In my mind, crypto's purpose in the world is simple:

Peg back all worlds currencies to something which is
1) not owned by country/company
2) is scarce
3) cannot be manupilated

Took me a while to get to this conclusion, but the answer for that peg is #Bitcoin

(1/7) In 1971, Nixon took US dollar off the gold standard. Before that, every available USD used to require equivalent gold. All other currencies were pegged to USD after the world war.

What happened when USD got depegged from Gold? USD became the worlds reserve currency.
