You strive for the utopia, but you can't be there right now, as then there would be nothing left to do. Sometimes you sacrifice, sometimes you need time to make a sacrifice, and at other times, there is simply nowhere to go but the fiat route.

But if seen as evolution rather than revolution, the question simply is what are you going to improve next? What difference are you going to make not only in your own life, but in that of others; even if it's just for someone to end up having a safety net where there used to be nothing.

I think that you can't slap the hypocrisy label onto something that is still developing. This is not the end game. We haven't even really found out to what extent Bitcoin is censorship resistant yet, which is arguably the most important test; thus far, attempts have been lame.

We have a long road ahead of us, let's not pass judgment. Not at all if we can help it, but especially not prematurely.
