You can't just rank value in a hierarchy like that. The value of each feature is entirely contextual. The security of it and the monetary aspects are linked for me. I value both equally. What a state values may indeed be different, but that doesn't make my values secondary or tertiary from my context.

Have you read the thesis? This is the technology that allows us to shut out the surveillance state from committing cybertyranny on everyone like they have been for years. Hard money is important. Fighting against actively ongoing cybertyranny is more important.
Like.. take Nostr for example... yes you can say whatever you want and there isn't a risk of being banned, but the protocol is still under complete and total surveillance by oppressive cybertyrants.
Bitcoin allows us to build computer networks that are totally unhackable, unsurveilable, completely and totally unfuckwithable.
Bitcoin first secures it's own bits of information, then we take those systemically secure bits of information to decentralize and systemically secure the rest of the internet.. its all laid out in Lowery's thesis and I highly encourage everyone to read it because it's so so important
My point is that you don't get to tell me what is more important to me and the money use case is directly related to the prevention of all kinds of tyranny, cyber or otherwise. You're trying to rank the use cases as if you're the arbiter of what is and isn't most important. All of the components are directly related. You can't have one benefit without the others. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Bitcoin. I don't need to read a thesis to disagree with your statements, but I am familiar with it and Lowery. I own a copy that I have not finished yet.
