I won't argue with you on that, except that there's still OGs that actually held on to much of their coin (not me, I'm a retard compared to those people because I didn't keep a fiat job). If ultimately something needs to give, I'm not entirely sure that its the institutional coercible value that wins, they got in late, relatively. So principled actors may still win in the end, but the printer is a bigger enemy than I'd like.

Bottom line: are you willing to get rekt over principles? Because that's what it comes down to.
