I get what you're saying, but I don't think #Satoshi is the only one we need to read. Many other people in those forums were looking for what #Monero is now.

I'm happy some people want more than money from #BTC, but that's all I ever trusted it could do.

I'm an old cynic, so disregard my thinking, but it never seemed to me you could have a stable measure of value.

As long as the world's population plateaus and then falls, all measures of value will fall with it, because that's the other side of supply and demand.

As the population falls there's only one measure of value that will increase and that's the value of a worker's time.

No #technology can alter that simple piece of arithmetic and it's always been the baseline.

Similar long-run logic was used by Keynes to justify inflation back in the days “in the long run we are all dead.., controlled inflation is good for the economy/jobs etc”. We are doing what we can here and now and bitcoin is the best chance we have against the current world economic system that incentivizes the rich and punishes the poor. I use XMR and bitcoin for transacting but I would never keep a hefty amount of value on XMR, though I do appreciate it for what it is.

I just want to make it clear, I never said there was no point trying. Many difficult tasks are nonetheless achieved and this may be one of those.

I'm just noting the technology isn't enough. We need the will to make it happen. So it doesn't provide a Swiss army knife for all economic models.

It's just money. No more no less.
