Does the Satoshi revolution need more time?
Most governments are introducing taxes on wallets and NFTs, and all content creators in the industry care to teach you to pay your taxes properly.
The biggest threat to global finance embedded in the system, in general indifference.
Wasn’t this supposed to be in every person’s hands? Off-grid, decentralized as it is in its nature?

Yes, I haven’t read “Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution” by Kropotkin wich I discovered only recently.
I think a decentralized anarchistic society would be wonderful, but holy shit if we don’t ditch capitalism along the way I’ll probably kill myself. I couldn’t stand an ancap society
You won’t have to - it would exist for ten minutes before it destorys itself and reverts back to bog-standard captalism.
Technology can be used in different ways, I understand capitalism-cryptos correlation is the actual paradigma but blockchain didn’t have a political value in itself.
In my point of view, Money itself is of political value.
The thing with the “store of value” is that it stands on the shoulders of libertarian thinkers or political economy. Even Marxist couldn’t escape that paradigm.
The mere concept of money as a store of value have no theoretical validity. Money doesn’t produce things, but things are commodified and available for money. Medicine, real estate, weapons, soldiers, whatever. Economy as a field exists into this paradigm which is flawed. Economy as we know it today, is subordinated to politics.
There is a case to be made in Economy in terms of industry development, but most of the time that’s not what economist are talking about when we cover the topic (Check out Thorstein Veblen, or the Capital as Power works). It’s all about the finance. Crypto is fake money and money is fake. There is no “store of value” in the sense that you are talking about my friend.
I want to invite you to check out those works.
