Encryption, Bitcoin, and Nostr solve transport, identity, and settlement. They do not establish reliability across time or adjudicate what happened when a deal fails. Those are institutional functions.
Reputation under pseudonymity is the starting point. A persistent key with two years of public history has something to lose if its holder cheats. Most transactions need a narrow fact, and zero-knowledge credentials extend selective disclosure without handing over the underlying record.

I was writing about similar things with Nostr a couple years ago (on Subdtack), but now I find it to be a bit too much armchair theorizing for my taste.
The notion of a parallel world is cope. One must enter the world and gradually shift it from within. Bitcoiners theorize about future security, I shape (to whatever limited extent) the actual physical security. Who is closer to shaping the future?
It's a network effect problem. If one builds the future without backwards compatibility into the present, it is a hypothetical future, not a present parallel reality of much weight.
The parallel world always exists, some live in it fully, others visit occasionally, some never hear about it. That's alright. Freedom doesn't depend on mass adoption.
