 I have seen your posts and you’re not to dumb to grasp this. In fact, I believe you do at the soul level. 
Today’s game theory is built on an extractive process where one wins by others losses and a Nash equilibrium exists around control - of resources, labour, capital - enforced by war or who has the greatest weapons. A standoff between no one pressing the Nuclear button for fears others will, with proxy wars and a chase for ever higher weapons that could re-win that game. 

Bitcoin changes that system utterly and completely over time with a new Nash equilibrium moving to an honest ledger and cooperation. The output of that honest ledger leading to abundance. 

We’re just very early and the transition and incentives of the system that is being replaced is fighting the transition with everything they have - mostly because they don’t have a framework for how the new model is so much superior - for them, their families and the world.
