My friend sent me a meme today that illustrated a view (not his) of what hardcore Crypto evangelists believe. In full disclosure I am not one, but believe there is probably some utility in it, I own a decent amount of BTC (not enough to make me quit working...enough to make me think about buying a house in the near future, depending on taxes), and I understand what the community is trying to do.
It was a meme of a scene from the Matrix.
>Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can trade my Bitcoin for millions some day?
>Morpheus: No Neo. What I’m trying to tell you is that when you’re ready...you won’t have to.
This view I think starkly disturbed me because it seems to signal that hardcore Hodlers really do think that on a long enough timeline the whole economic system collapses.
