The dark side of Bitcoin…
Bitcoin won’t lead to a libertarian peaceful paradise like some maximalists preach.
It will be a return to a naturalized economy, and the vast majority of humanity will have nothing of serious value to contribute to that future economy.
I’m not saying that this is a bad thing. This is the way of the world. This is how all of nature works. Indeed, most of human history can be described as a prolonged attempt to delay or prevent a natural economic dynamism from taking place, favouring instead predictably and the illusion of conform and safety.
Bitcoin will be used by hardcore libertarians, digital nomads, tyrants, suburban families, corporate neo-dynasties, terrorists, and everything in between alike.
Understand this and prepare accordingly.
