You and I are in alignment here. And to your “bureaucrats” point, this will happen organically as the economic power shifts further in our direction. Just look at how much it’s ALREADY helping to this end.
My main point was that embeded circular economies around the world (especially in 2/3rd world countries where friction/resistance is significantly and sometimes even non-existent) are ground zero for this “cause”. (Separating Money from State)
Many well intending bitcoiners can only see the world through thier own (fiat-legacy) FIRST world lens. So they freak out when the monopolistic hegemons very predictably fight back to protect their turf. In the intermediate to long term, their actions will prove futile. In fact, they will undoubtedly help to STRENGTHEN the protocol as participants require more robust open source software to out manoeuvre the creeping countermeasures of “the state”.
This is what makes Bitcoin (the ecosystem) so incredibly and almost incomprehensibly novel, robust and (IMO) unstoppable.
Or I’m delusional. Both are possible 🤣
