What about this take. The romantic view of this thing we call bitcoin is slowly dying to reality. The reality of what those people said they wanted is not ever gonna be possible. Its naive to think banks and the state will just roll over and die. They will seek to manipulate and use what they can't change. It is what it is. Bitcoin, if it is money is gonna be loved and used by the worst people. They will virtue signal to its adopters as long as it is beneficial to them. This is such a non-story IMO. Its like complaining that its hot in summer. Yeah, it is and you should be ready for it. Or maybe bitcoin should be like so many other software projects and become irrelevant. Its either money or its not. Everyone isn't gonna understand it or use it "correctly". People will love it for the wrong reasons. They will hate it for the wrong reasons. People are stupid.
"What people wanted is not ever gonna be possible."
So we use a accepted shared view of the truth (Blockchain) to eliminate bias, allowing us to properly educate people.
You're such a cynic kepford. Change is possible, dude! We had women's suffrage, civil rights, free primary education, germ theory of disease.. computers, Internet, solar panels... come on dude, admit it: There is at least a slim chance of ending world poverty without nuclear war.

LOL
My comment was not clear. It's not gonna happen without some middle phases of pain and suffering. The state and banks aren't gonna roll over. I hope humanity learns about hard money but it's really incentives that will make or break bitcoin. Free markets and voluntary interactions are the way forward.
