I strongly disagree with you.

What you are describing is functionally impossible in practice, and if it was somehow successfully implemented I wouldn't want to touch Bitcoin with a ten foot pole.

Why do you disagree with my point? Provide some basis for your opinion. It is known that Bitcoin cannot be earned any other way other than mining, and acquiring it will eventually become either more complex to near impossible, or very easy. If it goes south, such a system has to be implemented. If you want $500 in Bitcoin, there would be a mountain of fees to pay just to purchase it. Or if you went the mining route, it would take months to get $500 worth of Bitcoin out of $500 worth of mining hardware.

I must have imagined those times I earned bitcoin for my labor.

I also assume you run your own business. Most, if not all of the Bitcoin you earned was bought with Fiat money. My argument encircles the topic of removing Fiat from the equation.
