Again would need to do the maths to be sure, but im fairly convinced the whole design rely on tieing up two opposite for them to work together as a greater whole with a certain global order even if it's composed of two opposite forces.
The two sides are the market/trading/speculation, and the other side, the predictible nature supposed to emerge from it, from the Mining, to keep the chain coherent and secure the transactions.
The two opposing sides are just distractions.
The shadow elites neither understand Taoism nor are practicing Taoist wisdom.
Because they do not practice what they understand/preach, thus they are as good as not practicing any wisdom.
Besides, the shadow elites worship the money god.
Money, no matter how perfect we try to make it to be, will never be perfect.
