While it's difficult to argue with that, I'd point out that Bitcoin does not care whether you exist, and that's absolutely as it should be.
I couldn't agree more. This is the biggest obvious problem with our society to me, the infantilisation of people and even of corporations. Forest fires need to happen etc.

That's true! However, Bitcoin is trust minimized. I don't need all the miners and node runners to care about me or my existence because I barely need to trust them. I can just verify the data I get from them with my own node. Our current institutions are trust maximized and don't care out those who trust them.
