Humans are not supposed to be without struggle. Abundance for all will turn the planet into hellscape while the population ramps up degeneracy to fill the void of purpose.

I completely disagree, your statement sounds like fiat stockholm syndrome. I would argue it will unlock the best characteristics of humanity. So many people are prevented from participating in society the way that best suits their character because they are stuck living day to day. Abundance, doesn't destroy humans lives, it will highlight what really matters to them. If you get everything you need without struggle you will physically or psychologically travel to the frontier in search of struggle, pushing us forward as a species. For some people the frontier will be very close to home, if you're the type of person that would overdose on abundance, this is what will be brought into focus for your struggle. But most will simply be set free to choose. (If you want to help animals do it, if you want to build sand castles on mars do it) Human want is limitless, if you have everything need you will find a way to want more! Bitcoin will unlock abundance, abundance is another the way of saying unfettered free market. Abundance does not mean the removal of struggle, it means bringing which struggle that matters to the individual into focus. Why would anyone ever fight increasing the individuals agency? Many people fall into the trap, more jobs more better. We do not want more jobs we want more productivity, we want more freedom of choice for the individual.
It's not wealth itself, or technology itself that makes humanity degenerate. It's when wealth or technology disconnect us from reality. We need signal. Purpose is not something we have to create or find. It's inborn. We have telos, both collectively and individually. The problem is losing signal and our ability to sense our purpose. The kind of abundance we create with new tech is going to depend on what kind of money we have. That's the point of Bitcoin. Honest money is access to signal. The twisted view of what we will do with technology you hear from our elites is a mirror of their own twisted values and the veil of unreality created by fiat. The fully automated luxury communism they envision is not a real possibility, thank God. It would turn out to be a horror show. Not because technological abundance is bad, but because their framework is. Elon is in the business of selling dreams to perverted fiat financiers. They can fantasize about conscious machines and robots on the moon, but they can't conceive of honest money or not treating the us like cattle. I give no credence to their visions. They don't see the future. They are lost. We can get back to reality and out from under these delusional people without throwing technology or it's benefits away. Take heart.
