Wow, so many things I want to touch on. First about the decentralization. You said you wanted the future where everybody has a lightning node. Keep in mind lightning labs is a private entity, and we need to move beyond lightning in order for Bitcoin to truly thrive. Secondly you say, imagine the world or corporations and individuals I like are running nodes. Truly, a utopia will not have corporations. Advancing the world cannot happen, unless private property is abolished, that's not to say bitcoin, which is personal property but if we're still living in a world where individuals or single entities have ownership over massive amounts of wealth and resources, then we're never actually going to get to any type of "utopia." Third you never actually defined utopia. To imagine a worst case scenario with either a fascist leader, or communist world. I'm willing to bet euros to croissants, dollars to donuts that you don't understand what communism is. If you did, you would understand that true Marxist, see a world without currency that through advancements in Socialism meeting advancing society through several stages of large transformations, including political, social, and technological advancements we could make the world rely less on payment. In which case that world bitcoin could still thrive especially because one of the biggest reasons capitalist, refute Marxist theory is because it's hard to tell how much something is value based on how valuable is two individuals. A.k.a. something like the diamond water theory like how water is worth way less than diamonds but yeah, it's necessary for you to live in diamonds aren't. And finally. Bitcoin is moving from the underground pretty quickly into the main stream. With a few nations adopting it as currency with major, multinational, corporations, experimenting with it as payment it's one of those things where it's moving gradually, and then suddenly. Said, you never really made any actual points like what's the point of this whole post?
