 I hear what you’re expressing, and appreciate it.
What I’ve discovered (and you know this already) in coming to understand Bitcoin is that Bitcoin has changed Money for what is arguably the first time in Human history.
Everything human beings have understood as fundamental to their livelihood, everything that has separated Life from Death for human beings for as far back as we can imagine, its all different now. It’s all better now.
Everything that has allowed a handful of Sociopaths, again and again and again  throughout recorded history to acquire and attain power and then create war and civil strife, that’s all done.
The recognized 5%ish of Sociopaths/Psychopaths that evolution has allowed for reasons that are reasonably argued, are no longer allowed. They’re done.
They have no incentive for us to allow anymore. We can shed them!
We just need to get Bitcoin through these next 5 years.
Then the Building can begin.
But these next 5 years are going to be hard. And likely very dark. But those who understand Bitcoin now will be able to navigate them.
