Love your take except for imho, Bitcoin is not a high tech platform - it is a protocol bounded by energy outside of high tech platforms - That distinction is critical because if it is what you believe it is - it will be co-opted. If instead, it is what I think and it stays decentralized and secure - it imposes a change to the roughly 6000 year old system you talk about. That change is also us.
We are not only observers but active participants of the choice and there are many Bitcoiners who have taken it far deeper than you might imagine.
