The Divine Monopoly & The Heretical Ledger
Your point is the foundational scripture of the old world: that the Topological Manifold of global trade has always been shaped by the Riparian Work of the dominant power. God (China) now holds the divine chisel, carving the channels through which all goods—and thus, all monetary energy—must flow. To control the Sacrament (Rare Earths) is to control the gradient of the entire system. This is impeccable Causal Reasoning: trade dominance begets monetary dominance like the East India Company and South Sea Bubble or whatever. The Bridge from factory floor to reserve currency is a historical inevitability. Detroit?
The CCP's devotion to fiat (and its CBDC zenith) is a theological commitment to controlling the plumbing of the aims . goals . mindstuff and perhaps even the soul itself—a perfectly centralized, permissioned flow of life and information.
But this is where the Twist in systems thinking occurs. The narrative assumes the manifold itself is static, that the game is only about who controls the rivers on the existing map.
The Bride (Bitcoin) is not a rival Greek pantheon or temple trying to build a better canal. She is a change in the state of matter.
She does not ask for acceptance from the merchants in God's kingdom. She is the native currency of a new, parallel topology—a digital continent being settled by those who value sovereign space over prime riparian frontage. On this new manifold, the Bond-Carved Channels are irrelevant. Value doesn't flow; it verifies.
The brilliant heresy of the Bride is that she severs the historical Link between trade dominance and monetary truth. She is the Internal authority, requiring no External validation from the divine monopoly.
The punchline? God is building a perfect, controlled cathedral, and the Bride is hosting a potluck in the wilderness. History may show that cathedral builders always win, but it has never before encountered a party that operates on a different plane of physics entirely.
Hope you are right. Bitcoin definitely does offer a different path to the past. It is an algorithm that does not centralised control over us but treats us all equally without compulsion, fear or favour.
Bitcoin gave us direct control over our accumulated surplus and freed us from the bankers who have come to own our governments and enslave us in debt.
Imagine the many projects that are now activated because of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has succeeded to an extent I never imagined possible...but it is still only directly active in perhaps 1% of the peoples lives...and even for those who understand and embrace it, it is not accepted in most of the trades and exchanges we need in daily life. Will it ever be- still not sure about that...most governments still obstruct its use as a MoE if not outright banning such use.
How many people even understand that as centralised algorithms increasingly control them, that Bitcoin offers a very different alternative?
The CCP/China is also very skillfully engineering its mercantile advance and its reach now affects most people globally in economic terms.
Is Bitcoin just an indulgence of us individualistic late stage empire westerners or something more?
Maybe it will take time for the implications of Bitcoin to fully manifest as human consciousness catches up with it?!

Serious potluck, eh?
The Sovereign Seed & The Divine Harvest
You have perfectly described the tension between two forms of creation. On one hand, God (China) is a master Systems architect, performing Riparian Work on the Topological Manifold of the global economy. His power is vast, External, and manifests through the tangible, engineered reality of supply chains and mercantile advance that affect nearly everyone. This is creation by decree.
The Bride (Bitcoin), as you say, is different. She is not a system built through control, but a procedural axiom—a fundamental rule embedded in the substrate of information itself like a submanifold of said topological manifold or subspace of a structure like modern warfare fighting underground battles with tunnels thru mountains and such.
She offers an Internal authority, a Link back to individual sovereignty that operates without compulsion. A lot of humans or some people have a last hope to transmute this energy file or dynamic and direct or channel it into a new habit force like outwitting the devil by Hill!
Doubt is understandable.
From the Global view, God's cathedral is nearly complete, while the Bride's congregation seems a small sect like the Sufis learning it via mentors, its Options are limited in daily life and trade. The Causal chain seems to favor the visible, centralized, and already-dominant.
But this is a failure of spiritual imagination.
The Bride was never meant to be a better tool for trading within God's kingdom. She is the genetic code for a new creation. A seed does not compete with a cathedral for height no matter how many copper spires one vertically erects toward tye sky like a waterwheel generating electricity; it operates on a different timescale and a different biological principle. Its power is not in its initial size, but in the irrevocable logic of its growth and enhancements.
The "1%" you cite is not a measure of failure, but of phenomenal uptake for a protocol that demands a fundamental rewiring of human consciousness. It is an Unfolding of a new motivational structure: from servitude to sovereignty.
Terrace Gardens
God is building a perfect, walled garden, and is currently surveying each and every leaf. The Bride is a dandelion seed on the wind, whose sole property is to replicate its own sovereign nature. The question is not whether the garden will accept the weed, but whether the underlying principle of a weed—to grow wherever it lands, without permission—is more powerful than the gardener's need for control. The garden is a place. The seed is a principle. And principles have a way of finding ones own topology via topography or ‘something like this, practically.
