I will absolutely be the first one to admit I still have a ton of ignorance about how markets work. I only finally sat down about 2 months ago and began to properly study and try to understand Bitcoin, and economics for that matter. Like I said in my other reply to you, I think that the majority of discourse in the community has led me astray because it completely lacks practical substance.

Of course I get it that it's fun to hype and meme and shit. But I still couldn't help but feel confused and find a situation I really can't understand when I tried to think about things long term. Everyone just talks about the near term. Price fluctuations, the adoption beginning to ramp up, all the changes starting to happen this year. But the key things I was curious about, I could never find an answer for.

I think the majority of people despise the current system just as I do, but they do to such a degree that they aren't even willing to admit that what comes next must grow from it and be directly linked to in a way we can't avoid. It's not necessarily a bad thing, I think, it's just how things will happen.
