[holy yikes]

OP's post is exactly why it's so easy to paint the crypto community as delusional. Crypto hasn't transformed society and it's not going to in any of the ways OP is fantasizing about because it's not any of the things it's being presented as in that post. And if you need it to be any or all of those things to see the actual utility of crypto, then you're going to live in an eternally unrealized fantasy world.

Further, the "consensus" concept in bitcoin is what has driven so much division because it requires so much compromise to reach consensus that large groups of people are unhappy. Every time you see one of these major forks break off from bitcoin it's because a large group of people reject the "consensus" rules and change them the way they think is better. The consensus aspect is highly overrated and your post doesn't reflect the reality of how divisive such a system has actually been.
