 Are you more concerned about:

Maintaining purchasing power over time without exploiting others ? 

Code sabotage/institutional reliability ?

Influencers/politics ?

Address each issue one by one and if you find a better solution than Bitcoin than please let us know.

 These issues are all interconnected. But I am mostly concerned with code sabotage and institutional reliability (bitcoin Devs and Ops and the servers they maintain are the institutions). From this everything else is derived. If less people trust bitcoin then the purchasing power drops. This can be done through code sabotage and influencers amplifying FUD and other bollocks (like monkey jpegs on the blockchain).
Politics play their own game and politicians are experienced with this. Up until bitcoin the state and the military industrial complex was concerned with defending our property. With bitcoin we put our eggs in another basket. They lose the grip of their power. But they still have the guns, bombs and kompromat.

 I don’t think of it that way

Core devs can’t force me to update my node

Thank God for Bitcoin
