You may be right eventually, but the main problem yet to be solved (as it is implied by most others, and as not been solved yet fully) is identity. How to prove uniqueness? How to prove a key pair is...

💯 yep,

That’s web of trust whatever it is, or isn’t at the moment.
We are experimenting right now with Nostr

If you think about it , when you verify age you ask one party (the state) to provide the answer. And it has no incentive to lie

We just need to the same but with multiple parties involved , and with game theory incentives

Bitcoin is really a digitization of trust
Money is only the first app

The next ones are :

identity, voting , contract (not smart contracts) , private services in lieu of public ones (education, health)

Everything the state provides except security … and then I am wondering if we can’t really digitize security measures (robot, drones?)

So the state knows this and they will do everything they can to maintain their hold on the last one: security (monopoly on violence)

To do this they need to manufacture insecurity

That’s it , that’s the agenda

Easy answer: Bitcoin can’t be bad because it’s only a protocol.

Now it’s only as good as the people using it. If in a distant future good times have created weak men then it might happen that they change consensus rules or emission schedule

Further more let’s consider what bitcoin doesn’t do and that we need really bad: -how to collectively build stuff like roads schools hospitals orphanage etc
- how to welcome newborns in this world (bag of coins?)
