yeah and that's where I think the core devs see the value in on-chain data I guess. One only sees memes and jpeg spam, others see smart contracts or mortgages etc.
but then again, it's just taking off one wheel and putting on another, what changes? you replace fiat with bitcoin and still do fiat things, but just with bitcoin?
This is what I'm not having a hard time getting over since I realised this
Like all things, power and money corrupt absolutely. The new Core Devs don't have a big stack like the earlier ones so are poor (relatively) and incentivesed to corrupt the code for money.
If Bitcoin/Hard money replaces fiat, (it probably won't - people are addicted to free money), you can't do fiat games with it. You can only spend once - the same as gold. All this imaginary wealth the boomers have built up evaporates. The stock market, housing bubble.. it's illusionary wealth. That's what you are missing. Wealth accumulation goes to those who work (pow). Those shitty jobs no one wants to do, get some because they earn the most.
