It's for anyone, not everyone.
The supply distribution alone limits sovereign utility to, at most, a billion people.
Anyone that tells you it can be scaled beyond this with some new cryptotheatrics is lying, even if to themselves, because when people want the impossible only liars can satisfy.
Everyone else will use it through some form of human organization (trust). Bitcoin does not exist to obviate all human organization. However, even if its not for everyone, it is everyone who benefits by the check and balance of such a neutral and hard money simply existing. Trust is now bespoke.
How do you keep coming up with these useful insights?! Hard not to resist copying to nostr!

Lots of these truths are uncomfortable to me particularly, because MoE was my path to discovery and where I am most capable of providing value. I've been idealistic (and thus wrong) enough times to see things for what they are and not what I want them to be.
