I think mine is related to yours: it's that despite all the incursions on freedom and the ways that governments are overtly moving to increase their control over our lives, most people don't think of bitcoin as the solution.

I don't think there's any silver bullet solution to fixing all the various problems of corruption and overreach; Bitcoin is a critical tool for empowering individuals and enabling alternative systems, although without steps that more directly address the broken system, it simply gets more and more broken while Bitcoin only protects the net worth of people who have adopted it.

Governments are fundamental to creating and maintaining the wealth of nations.

Bitcoin creates healthy competition to the government imposed monopoly over MoE but that does not mean you can have a wealthy and prosperous economy without government.

It would be better adopted if bitcoiners weren’t such assholes. If the 1990s pc people were all like this we wouldn’t be using PCs today either.

People get it at the price they deserve.

There has never been any other financial asset to deliver such incredible value appreciation as Bitcoin has already.
