^MrFish, you are completely correct in that we need an anonymous, decentralised currency.
However, the problem with bitcoin is that it's a digital currency; it needs the internet to work.
What if the government decides that bitcoin is illegal and they start to take out network nodes or exchanges?
That's the beauty of cash. The government doesn't know how much you have or how much you spend.
The only real downside is that the central banks can create it as they please.
The perfect solution would be a currency that is anonymous, decentralised, offline and limited in total amount.
edit: captain_shane beat me to it. The banker elite will never allow a currency outside their control, so an alternative should at least be something that cannot be monitored.
