I hear you (I’ll add that to my reading/listening list; thanks!).
My stance isn’t about defending the fiat system as ideal. I recognize its practicality and the progress it has enabled despite its flaws (it has many). I agree that many people suffer under the current system; I’m not (yet) convinced BTC is the silver bullet.
I’m generalizing, but most crypto bros are in it to make a buck and “freedom”, not some altruistic way of fixing the government/society.
BTC might work well for those of us fortunate enough to allocate resources toward it, but that doesn’t directly address the broader systemic issues affecting most people today. Like, there is only so much BTC being produced, and it is finite. If those who can’t afford it on the same scale as us (ex. citizens holding Venezuelan bolivar / Argentine peso / etc…) — won’t they be left behind, and will there still be a class war? Same goes for those Swiss who do not have any extra savings and are living paycheck-to-paycheck (like the poor guy who only made a 100% return because of expensive “waterdrop” from the other forum post here).
I think what you are referring to is the loss of the middle class — I personally think the only way to get to a more balanced wealth distribution is through taxation (progressive wealth taxes and likely more aggressive than they currently are in Switzerland, at least). My friends in other countries are surprised that Switzerland even has wealth taxes.
The only way all of that happens is if we vote to elect leaders that make it their mission to do so; but many are cynical with the illusion of choice and the money in politics
(like in the USA, where it’s essentially a 2-party system; I was sort of baffled the choices put out were between Trump and Biden initially).
