I think that bitcoin being a crux that will lift the civilization in a new age is a bit of a stretch and exaggeration in my opinion because it's not like bitcoin is going to be able to solve the wars or the hunger around the world alone. Can bitcoin power cities with energy? I don't think so, you want to know what the foundation of our civilization is? It's electricity, try ro remove it out of the equation and we will have millions of death in just 2 hours without electricity.
