I think everyone is aware of how things are turning and how quickly it can get nasty, suffice to look at the news from Ukraine, Sri-Lanka, the Netherlands... One day you're living peacefully there, and the next one the russian army is invading your country, or the protestors are invading the presidential palace because starvation becomes a reality, or some moronic bureacreat pretends to make better decision for your life than yourself.
I don't like to think much about it, mainly because there isn't much I can do, but the more I look at it, and the more I think about bitcoin. These type of situations are exactly what bitcoin was created for: open, free, uncensorable, unconfiscatable. When things turn bad, the only way out is to have something of that nature. It reminds me of a meme I saw: "Me reading twitter for 5 min: I need to buy more btc". It's not that NGU technology will make adoption faster, it's the crumbling around of basic functions in society that will make btc stand and look like it's going up. I'd rather watch how people peacefully and willfully transition to better systems and the old systems are simply forgotten, but history usually doesn't go that way and changes are more abrupt, and more birth like.
Fiat's end game is social unrest.

The 3 examples you pointed out sum up what's really wrong with the world: the fact that most of it uses government systems that are proven to fail or others that were invented 2000 years ago, with slight tweaks over the past centuries. Sadly, bitcoin can't change that but that can stop bitcoin. I guess it's all up to the average Joe, make micropayments on local stores (under $5 maybe, might take some convincing), support software or apps that transact only on sats, or something that gets anyone's neighbor interested on jumpstarting the crypto monetary system.
