The dark side of Bitcoin…
Bitcoin won’t lead to a libertarian peaceful paradise like some maximalists preach.
It will be a return to a naturalized economy, and the vast majority of humanity will have nothing of serious value to contribute to that future economy.
I’m not saying that this is a bad thing. This is the way of the world. This is how all of nature works. Indeed, most of human history can be described as a prolonged attempt to delay or prevent a natural economic dynamism from taking place, favouring instead predictably and the illusion of conform and safety.
Bitcoin will be used by hardcore libertarians, digital nomads, tyrants, suburban families, corporate neo-dynasties, terrorists, and everything in between alike.
Understand this and prepare accordingly.
“Inevitably, therefore, government protection of a large part of the world’s wealth will be redundant.
Government will be no better situated to protect [money] in cyberspace than you are”

The unfortunate state of our culture is not something that should be complained about endlessly.
It is formed on the one hand by the collective unconscious of the masses, which is beyond control or manipulation. It has a will and deterministic directionality of its own.
On the other hand, it is molded slightly by the few self-actualized leaders.
Either flow with culture, lead within and above it, or escape it.
A Bitcoin seed phrase is a horcrux for your savings. You can create a bunch of them, and put them in mundane objects, and spread them around in hidden places. And as long as one survives, your whole fortune is accessible.
If the on-ramps get shut down, bitcoin will become the most desirable substance in the world.
If the on-ramps for crypto get shut down, they will go to zero.
