Yess, I still agree to that for some extent, platforms like SN and NOSTR are just for me to think out loud so that I get multiple viewpoints. So many things got cleared when I posted this on SN about negatives of BTC society: #279844
Some people who have knowledge may not shitpost here, but I learn from being a devils' advocate here. (Some people also call it Socratic method of learning and teaching, where you question everything, and be skeptical of everything until its proven right)
But still I guess we need to be in other shoes to really understand. I can see BTC as advantageous for a society completely torn by economists and gov, specially third-world countries can counter inflation with Bitcoins, even then it is currently still an investment opportunity for vast majority, rather than really being Sovereign as DarthCoin says so.

Yes, but for someone who have to feed families can't risk their earnings with BTC until they are rich or careless enough to do that. That's why, i specifically mentioned first world countries where people are paid well and your working right, wages etc. are respected.
On the contrary, it is really difficult for someone from 3rd world countries to start with BTC/SATS even when they know it is future, it is sovereign, it is inflation proof. At the end of the day, it is govt. that you fear the most when you are weak.

I am with you on certain points, and yes I am still new so I am still exploring this thing, but my only point with my nostr post and even with the current discussion is:
Knowledge and understanding self-sovereignty is not enough to be a Bitcoiner, where you come from is an important criteria too.
