Yep, we forget how technology is also a part of nature.

Much of the woes and worries I observe surrounding this tech today seem to be looking through the lens of a fiat fugazi world today, and entirely forget what bitcoin is here for. Not to make us all rich -- to decentralize our governance in such a way that we don't have to spiral into the ever-encroaching dystopia that movies and the state make it out to be.

Our fiat brains make us scared of these things -- and rightfully so, given history. We've only lived in a time where theft and debt is fundamental to how we operate. We can't even imagine what it's like to put down the crutches and run a full sprint.

But we can be a cool futuristic star trek free space-bearing kardashev type 1,2, maybe 3, or 4 species that learned how to manipulate technology to our benefit rather than to our detriment.

The fact that bitcoin exists suggests to me that the latter scenario is much more likely than the former.
