Bitcoin's greatest strength is that it's not physical! It makes it impossible (or very difficult) to steal except for the $5 wrench attack (probably up to $20 due to inflation 😂).

I agree that strong community is a huge part of the solution. But trust is earned and a system that is easily corrupted is not to be trusted (ever).

I think liberalism failed because the US Constitution and other documents designed to restrain government power have no teeth. At some point, the system has become overly abusive and the people in charge have no consequences for becoming tyrannical. I think public hanging of any politician or bureaucrat who proposes a law or edict that violates the clear limitations on the government is one such solution. The threat of violence by THE PEOPLE should be clearly articulated by the founding documents! This is how the US was founded... self-defense against tyranny.
