The problem is not economy, it is the perpetrators of injustice.

That's what the Jacobins, the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, the People's Liberation Army, and ISIL said.
Even winning the revolution does not constitute winning simpliciter.

Exactly. For this reason it is not a proper course of action to hunt down every goon and let their corpses lay unburied.

It is a proper course of action to speak out in the forums, and appear blameless in your own deeds so that they don't harass you, but even if they do, your conscience is pure.

There is currently a disparity of power in that goons can rob me of my property, liberty, and life (and 2 first ones have been tried), whereas I renounce my power to do likewise to them. By so doing I give them time to repent.

Those righteous actions are mostly useless and orthogonal to developing technology frontiers. Without such frontiers, the cancer will drag us back into another 600 year Dark Age.

I understand your view as a Christian not to fret, etc., but I am talking about the non-spirtual reality. To become lazy and non-productive and to waste the massive capital that has been entrusted to you in non-productive Bitcoin vaults is the crime of the Parable of the Talents.

In your defense, I don't think you are capable of doing more, as you aren't a programmer and you rely on the "gentleman's club" approach to evaluating what to support. And you expect everything to come to you on your terms (even refusing to run Bitmessage so that you could be privy to everything). You are really a trader and not a venture capitalist. You are out of your element as a venture capitalist.

But it is okay, because you aren't the only whale. And you have helped me with 2 BTC. Thank you. I hope I prove to be worthy.
