When will we admit that it's ABOUT TIME to quit our soulless job and take the lumps that go with a 70% pay cut (Been there, done that!), so that it's our life we're living, rather than someone else's?

...the more I look into it, the more I see this never happening on a large scale (not applying this to me, obviously.)
Conformity mindsets....(and by definition, will always be in the majority).
Unless 'the majority mindset' becomes decentralized , it wont happen.
I see no route - barring cataclysmic events - to that happening...Power never gives itself away voluntarily - and power lies in the centralized structures.

...Hence my 'critical eye' on the entire crpyto space ever becoming truly decentralized - and it not being some massive social experiment to shoe horn in crypto as the new 'money'....(nothing would make me happier than being utterly wrong on this one...)

I do so wish you were wrong, but the part of me that actually believes you're wrong grows smaller with every year that passes.

The challenge I see (or we could be more honest and call it "problem") is that the "conformity mindsets" seem to automatically want to centralize themselves. From where I am sitting, it's not just about power not giving itself away, it's about the willingness of the many to give away their power... if we just have one central body do all the thinking, we won't have to expend energy on engaging in critical thinking for ourselves (not talking you or I, just the "masses").

My personal "fear" for the crypto/blockchain space is that we have reached a point where the genie can no longer be put back in the bottle, SO THEREFORE those centralized organizations threatened by the decentralized paradigm will instead play along and usurp the concept... and we'll end up with *"Amazon Coin"" and "Bank of America Coin" and "eBay Coin" and so forth, and then the great non-thinking "Conformity sheep" will reach a point where they all want to pile into crypto... and they'll — en masse — pile into the familiar names like Amazon, Bank of America and eBay while fully believing that they are part of some new disruptive revolution while the actual decentralized idealism will be pushed into some distant shadows where the remaining 3% of us live.

I also wish I were very wrong about that...

You don't think the BTC project wasn't engineered into existence by the powers that be as test run/taster ? (my cynical side says 'there is no other way', my idealist side says 'I hope not')..ie 'the genie out of the bottle' was a controlled illusion...?

As long as the sycophant 'midwit' runs through the corridors of power, 'the institutions' will not fall...(how can they, when those immediately below them in the hierarchy wish for the status quo?..pharma, media, the MIC.. ). ....They may label themselves differently to fool the gullible, but the structure remains. (a little like the illusion that the royalty/banks gave power away to 'the people' , in the UK)

Even a hippy trippy, happy clappy dude like yourself (lol), must be able to see that conflict is coming ?...- it has nothing to do with 'liking it' or not.
The most peaceful way to win this war, is to delegitimatize the idiots - the bureaucrats, the mid-wits, the sycophants...(imo).
....laughter and mockery is the light shone on them, that they have no defense against. (apart from destroying your accounts and devious shit like that - but hey, your grand kids will thank you for the sacrifice...)
