I can't really imagine an outcome where the current form of governance, with huge, inefficient, warring nation states, will be capable to deal with a situation where they can't print or tax excessively.

To this day I see Bitcoin as a tool for the people, not states, not corporations: Bitcoiners opting out of the larger system, not the larger system opting in to Bitcoin. I don't really see a need for all-encompassing adoption.

Yep, exactly. If they can’t print, they’ll squeeze harder with taxes. That’s how fiat works—always shifting the burden to the people. Another reason why Bitcoin matters.

But wouldn't it be reasonable to think that if they can't print money, that taxes will go up even more?
