The question is a bit rhetorical. The idea that an individual would not create policies that favour themselves is absolute regardless of morals. The ability to wield power will mean it use be abused eventually.
Bitcoin removes the temptation to create fake value/ devalue work created by fiat printing. The more humans meddle the more they mess up.
My personal view is that while a scarce unit of account is import it doesn’t solve for politics. I feel such discussions are missing in the bitcoin space.
