I was once like you Fred. But now I feel corruption wins more often than not so reversion to the worse possible scenario over decades will be the trajectory. The old power structures won’t go without a fight. They won’t and can’t kill bitcoin so they’ll just target bitcoiners themselves.
Bitcoin doesn’t need mass adoption to win. I’m personally targeting the SoV narrative. Always have since I found bitcoin. I spend in Monero but believe Bitcoin will take gold’s crown. It’s an easy10x from here in terms of MC. We can have less than 1% of the world owning bitcoin and still win as the best SoV / savings device.
In terms of an idyllic future of hyperbitcoinization I personally feel that is off the cards and I’m ok with it.
