I don't see it the way most people say it, I just see the world trying to benefit from investments, be it decentralised or not. The issue is that people are repositioning and misrepresenting facts, the world will not change as such as many think, it will remain like this forever, but with a little alteration and improvements.

However, a little alteration like the investment opportunities and decentralization ability will help the smart people to gain more and also evade the government excesses and control.

eople are just looking for ways to get ahead, or at least not get screwed by policies they can’t control. In a way, that’s been the story for centuries, right? A lot of the big headlines make it sound like we’re heading for total upheaval, but on the ground, most change does play out more gradually. New tech, new ways to invest, maybe less trust in old systems, but no instant revolution

Where it gets interesting, though, is that even these “little alterations”, like more access to decentralized tools, or the option to dodge some government overreach, can actually add up over time. The smart money, like you said, is just quietly adapting. Not trying to overthrow the system, but staying a step ahead, using whatever’s available. Maybe it’s Bitcoin, maybe it’s something else next decades

"Every Good thing must come to an end" and USD is losing it's trust especially after the Covid because they just started injecting money into the economy more that didn't happen in their history for decades so what they are feeling now is just the after effects of immediate printing money. Gold will be the obvious choice because it's trust and secured or that's what everyone in this world believes and now they also got bitcoin on the line which is a progress that Bitcoin achieved in no time comparing the time period of other assets.

Gold as the “default” trust anchor makes total sense. Centuries of tradition, no politics, no signatures, just something tangible people can hold. But it’s great to see Bitcoin carve out a piece of that same psychological territory in just a handful of years. If gold’s story was written by generations, Bitcoin is speedrunning the same trust game in internet time. And what’s crazier is that both are now seen by different crowds (sometimes the same crowd!) as shields against exactly the same risk: governments losing the plot. Maybe that’s just how it always goes. When the dominant player overreaches, the next thing on the edge gets pulled into the spotlight. For some it’s gold, for others, it’s code. At the end of the day, it’s about where people believe value is safest

Nothing is permanent. The powerful now can be deprived of power in the future. Which is why it is important that we also diversify because we never know which ones will decline in the future and which will be safe. For now assets like bitcoin specifically would be considered a safe haven as every currency in the world goes crazy.

Not completely invisible to political or economic impacts but bitcoin that is decentralized would be less impacted by other countries' decisions and economic state.

nothing really lasts forever, especially in finance and power structures. History is full of surprises, and sometimes the top dogs fall off faster than anyone expects. Bitcoin’s appeal right now, as you say, isn’t that it’s totally immune, but that it’s different. No asset is completely untouchable, but decentralization changes the game enough to offer real choices, not just for the “elite,” but for anyone with a smartphone
