You are an excellent writer and analyzer of systems and concepts. I think your presence here adds a lot, even if you're not on board with Bitcoin.
And fwiw, I don't think bitcoin is the definitive holy grail... I just think it fixes enough to be worth treating like its the holy grail. Ultimately it will be corrupted, as humans corrupt everything. That's no reason not to go pedal to the metal on this thing which can buy us some more time and some more humanity, and I phrase it that way because I think civilization's current course is anti-human and leading straight into several possible disasters. A change is needed, but it can't be the kind of change we've seen so far in history - I can't think of one instance in history where an intentional change didn't actually make things worse. Its only that bitcoin doesn't force anything that it has a chance to actually resolve ongoing problems. I see it as a new ruleset in the same way that ecology is a ruleset - all the wonderful complexity in nature is made possible by the rules, not in spite of them, so the discovery of new rules of nature (in this case, math is nature) is like an island of stability in atomics or a new trophic level in ecology, or a new engine design that appears to magically (from the perspective of what was impossible before) convert more potential into useful work, and so there's simply no telling what fascinating new things will be possible due to it and its second order effects.
But we will corrupt it. Its what people do. But then we can try again. Maybe we get a thousand years, maybe just a couple hundred. Doesn't matter.
