As someone who thinks that bitcoin etc are just a techy form of alchemy (the old dream of creating something of value from nothing), if not an outright scam (for anti-social losers to escape from 'teh rulez'), I wouldn't say that it's not so much that I hold the existing order in high regard, but that the alleged 'disruption' does not appear to be anything other than an old ruse in a new guise.
