Be careful fantasizing about or wishing for utopias. Every perfect vision of the world has trade offs.
Example: caloric abundance was seen throughout most of human history as a type of heaven (milk and honey).
Yet modern humans live in caloric abundance and suffer just as much as those living in a caloric deficit.
Humans won’t allow utopia. We’re not built for it. We’re built to suffer.

The idea is to have good problems. We are born problem solvers, it is rewarding.
I respectfully disagree.
To say that the nature of humans is suffering when the only humans you've seen are those under coercive control of governments is like seeing a zebra in a zoo and saying that the nature of zebras is to stay in one place.
I'm not saying the future will be free of all crime and conflict. But the world today incentives war, conflict, and the suffering of many to serve the few. So to say that war, conflict, and suffering are human nature isn't true - at least on grounds that the world today is full of suffering.
Bitcoin can break the chains of history by radically shifting incentives in a way we've never seen.
I'd be more inclined to follow original statement. War is a constant through history & the major faiths (I believe) also sell their teachings in the human suffering category.
The middle path seems to be a nice place to hang out.
Ya, but we could try
Humans aren't built for suffering, we're built to experience contrast. What is joy without pain?
Suffering is a choice, pain is unavoidable.
