Almost 70 here and definitely not a tech luddite.

Then you would be wrong.  Everyone is an Amish or luddite to some extent unless you want to chop your own head off and replace it with a T-800 terminator skull.  Anyone familiar with the Kaczynski rule knows bitcoin is nothing but a garbage slavery system.  Combine that with the Joseph Tainter rule of diminishing returns of complex systems, and in order to keep any type of technologically progressing civilization afloat, it requires converting the entire thing into a vertically integrated ant slave colony where you're just a worker drone with increasingly worthless value to the system as a whole.

There's a reason Star Trek is portrayed as a military dictatorship.  Instead of one scientist being able to solve something like Tesla, it's no longer possible and you need a team of 500 scientists all centrally managed to do anything. Technology is inherently anti-freedom and pro-vertical integration of the whole into an ant colony.  In order words, just about everything Kaczynski said is right, and there is no purpose at all in taking civilization past a certain point in technology because everyone would just be a dehumanized worker drone.  Due to overspecialization, said system would also easily collapse and send you back to the stone age anyway.
