It's a messy, organic process - and this incremental progress comes with a lot of failures, problems and pain.

There is no shortcut through all of this when people must make a voluntary decision to act at a worldwide level, to an individual degree - it's both an immense transformation, and a simple choice. Patience, for me, has been the real test, rather than faith, and i have internally struggled as you seem to be currently on your terms in your own journey.

Some of your points are valid - i don't have any answers to 'what to do' about speculators, scammers, or the venality of the state, in any jurisdiction of the world - i can only continue to make MY decisions, and pursue the path of that transformation to the best of my ability, in the understanding that i am not alone in that position - honestly, if i look at the wider situation in the world, what else is there ?

Your username is remnant, you claim to anarchism/voluntaryism - it goes with the territory to be the intolerant minority and know this whole thing, it's not about making a quick buck, it's not a game; it's about changing things, by being the change - however hackneyed that phrase may be, it's the only way, and the fact that a lot of people can't/won't see it at any given moment is one more ugly fact to be dealt with.

Take heart, we ARE a minority; not just in the world, but even in Bitcoin space - i am utterly disinterested in traders, speculators, and shills, and fully anticipate the state inflicting itself ever more viciously as it begins to thrash to preserve it's position over the rest of us - some of the 'toxic' amongst us have warned for years about everything you mention, even as most ignore, or even deride them - so thankful that i had the instinct and un-common sense to heed their overwhelmingly correct assertions .

You're right - expect more ugliness, call out the fakers, speak the bald truth, lead by example.

It was never going to be easy.
