We are all going to die in the end anyways and the environment is already fucked from capitalism.

Can't have capitalism with a central bank. A central bank is one of the main tenets of communism. Bitcoin itself is supposed to be an automated central bank, but transaction validators are designed to centralize, so it's more of a Pandora's box of whatever goverment or pseudo-government organizations takes control of it like the G8, G20, UN, The Fed, BIS, or whoever. They then regulate and administer blacklists on the 2-10 or so huge mining pools, mandatory identity tied to accounts with stuff like chain anchor, and it's a giant permissioned ledger slavery system identical to the Chinese social credit score system.

Whether that is by accident or by design all along is the only real discussion.
