On a scale of 1 to โ, how fucked would we be if we didnโt have bitcoin?

Pretty fucked, bud. I was talking to my wife about this recently. We would be nearly hopeless without it.

Itโs our only hope for uncrouptable sound money
Whatโs infinity minus 2?

Glad I made the right choice ๐๐ป

Bitcoin is uniting the world
A lot!

Most people tend towards infinity.
More fucked than we are now, but probably not so bad, because if not Bitcoin, something similar would have been invented in its place.
Iโm not sure I agree with that unless you believe that bitcoin was always inevitable. It seems almost implausible that it would have happened without all of the trial and error of economic radicals, cypherpunks, and psychopaths who caught on and carried the torch.
That's basically what I'm saying, the economic situation around that time, the cypherpunks...all that would still be there. So perhaps something similar to bitcoin would have been delayed by a few years, but it's basically inevitable. Similar to the rise of the machines in the Terminator franchise.
