How is me investing in crypto changing the lot of 1.7 billion people?

I may be the chosen one, but am I that important?

To phrase it differently: all you said may (sic!) be true, doesn't change my personal interest though.

You could think of where you store your wealth as a vote for the system which best represents your values, and for the system you would like to see proliferated. Your inclusion adds value to the network, which strengthens its security and helps push it up the adoption s-curve. The more users there are, the more services appear, and the more accessible and useful it becomes.

I was never that interested in monetary policy or the history of money until I found out about Bitcoin and started doing my own research.

My house on the countryside and self sustaining lifestyle (obviously not totally hermitic, but way more than the average person) votes for the system very loudly I'd say.

I am very interested in the history of money, but it made me a Marxist, or rather a Trotskyist ;)
