Best thing would be if politicians do not touch anything. The only thing necessary is having level playing fields in this case for money, to let evolution fo its work. Politicians are getting too much attention and leverage to intervene in our lives!

To avoid that, to underpin this new culture under a sole, simple, coherent and compelling narrative, is our challenge and the one I'm focussing on.

Hayek wrote a book about the denationalisation of currency. No government monopoly on currency

It seems so obvious to think about money on BTC terms, that I can't process much the idea that Hayek had to write a book to justify it
