Yeah, a lot of people think that the way they view Bitcoin is "THE RIGHT ONE" and that couldn't be farther from the truth. For me Bitcoin is just: A social construct made a reality thanks to a technology that works because of human action. Bitcoin is whatever one wants it to define it to be, but it does not solve all the problems in the world and much less validates any of the ideas we have about the world or how it should be or work.

BUT, "a lot of people think that the way they view Bitcoin is 'THE RIGHT ONE'" is exactly how social constructs tend to go don't you think?

Yeah, defining what a social construct really is, is not easy, it sometimes comes as paradoxical, it becomes a constant reintroduction of the "No true Scotsman" fallacy. All you need is too people to interpret something as something else and there you have it, a social construct.
