I think this is just dreamboarding that one day, people will start thinking and acting like you. It's a thing bitcoiners do, and I think it's unrealistic. The world turns out fiercely independent intellectual dorks at an incredibly slow rate, and I don't see a reason the trend would reverse.
I don't pretend to believe that everybody is going to use Bitcoin this way, but those who do, will have the most agency. I do believe that.
Oh it's the Lifeboat Theory. You are somehow special and get to survive the Titanic sinking, because people didn't choose to become obsessed with the same thing as you.
