I don't subscribe to the Bitcoin fixes everything narrative, but I get your point. As a mindfulness based, tech/digital minimalist productivity coach, I know well that it's our perceived identity, needs, and habits that are the root cause. We're driven by core human needs for certainty, significance, and connection, but modern tech platforms have hijacked these natural drives with engineered dopamine loops. The real solution isn't a different currency - it's intentionally designing our environment and habits to align with our actual values, while being mindful of how digital tools shape our behavior and attention.

Bitcoin is not a currency. Money is the lifeblood of our environment / civilization. If you are running your body on junky processed food (or civilization on fiat) you can cut back on toxic social medias as much as you want but your life will be miserable. I’m not saying it’s impossible to live a good life eating junky fiat food, I’m saying it’s not very productive and we should put „the most pressure” to solve problems where it makes the most sense. Bitcoin strikes in the very center of most problems, but I understand that you do not see it that way. That’s fine. Anyways, good luck to you. Cheers.
Both what you describe and bitcoin fix everything a little more. Everything exists and performs actions in the context of other things.
And just like that, I was unfollowed by this new follower/pleb for saying Bitcoin doesn't fix everything - proving my exact point about identity and attachment. Bitcoin is a powerful tool, but like any tool, it's what we choose to do with it that creates value. The tool itself isn't the solution - our mindful choices and actions are.
