We do agree changes are needed, although nobody knows for sure which changes should happen to assure the results we are looking for. Some will claim more financial freedom is needed, while others defend more state's intervention. In the end, none of the measures promoted seem to work for real, because there is a common human factor on both methodologies which is fail and ended preventing considerable positive results appearing for everyone, especially nowadays, since individuality has grown stronger than ever, and people became more egoistical and selfish.

So if someone is able to thrive in life through any means, he won't care enough if everybody else is also doing well or facing harsh situations in life, like you mentioned in your post. These people are on top positions of the world, and of course don't want any changes at all, because it's comfortable for them how the system is right now. In my opinion we are by ourselves in this physical world. You can't rely on authorities, coaches, celebrities, businessmen and fake messiahs who appear on our modern society from times to times tin order to make a change in your life for the better.

What we can try doing is to find gaps on this wicked system we live in, so we can improve our standards and life quality step by step. Bitcoin is one of these gaps, while other gaps involve certain attitudes you have for yourself, such as keeping your monthly budget under control, avoiding superfluous companions and empty women, boasting parties and rides, and of course, not starting a family without a planning in advance.

The extreme change or measure here is to respond to an individual an selfish society with more individuality from your part. That is how we survive these days, I suppose...
