 Straw men argument, the easy way out from the work necessary to form a sound idea. How about you summarize Lyn position in the strongest possible way before attacking it? 
 I'm not *quite* directly disagreeing with Lyn per se. I'm emphasizing an orthogonal point about the importance of stability, and suggesting that if the dollar collapses in a catastrophic way in the near future, then I'm not confident we survive the chaos at all. I don't think we get a chance to reset with Bitcoin. I think it's just potentially game over for our civilization. If people are still living, they'll be living in a dark age. 
 transition time seems smart for human coping abilities
