It is not hope but observed reality. Humans are mostly not capable of living and prospering without government. Consider Linux...largely captured and used to operate the internet while the masses are 98% cajoled into using corporate state surveillance OS's Android, Windows and Apple.

I can use Linux and so can you, but the vast majority of humanity are using corporate state surveillance OS...while linux is used to run the underlying infrastructure- just as Bitcoin may well end up held by Central Banks while most people still live under fiat monopolies.

Bitcoin protocol has already been largely captured and controlled. Am not happy about that at all, but just facing the reality of human nature. Governments are no more inherently flawed than people are.

It is in groups that humans can achieve the most. Bitcoin is an example of that but so are governments.

Most people are docile sheep and prefer the safety, security, property rights and prosperity government enables. While the wests global hegemony is in clear decline a multi-polar world with China already dominant in manufacturing, commodity markets, infrastructure construction and military power projection is already evident.

The logical result will be a retreat of the USD hegemony and the advance of Chinese monetary hegemony...simply because they now dominate global markets just like every previous empire once did.
