That's his suggestion, in conclusion, I suppose.

The video linked basically says this:

We wish it could be true that we could create a belief system that couldn't be exploited. We hope a well designed system of laws and such can't be exploited. However, no amount of logic or belief can prevent the exploitation of logic or belief system. There's only one way to stop the exploitation and oppression that inevitable comes along, and it's not about a new logic or a new diplomacy. It has to be permissionless. It has to be zero trust. The only thing like that is is physical power projection. Typically violence. Bitcoin is a way to do this same type of power projection that is peaceful.

"Code doesn't stop the systemic exploitation of code." At some point, to prevent someone from fucking with you, you physically have to raise arms and project your will in meat space.

Bitcoin is power projection, just like this, but it's peaceful. It still prevents someone from fucking with you and yours.
