I'm also not cheering on the new thing ... I do like to have an idea where things are going

Let's come up with a framework then to think about that...

Is Bitcoin party to destruction of the old thing?

If yes, planners have merit, you can cheer for destruction of the old thing.

If no, then why is Bitcoin at all important?

Is Bitcoin a party to the construction of the new thing?

If yes, then its simple, trust the plan.

If no, is it at least a forcing function for thew thing to be at least somewhat better than the old thing?
