I was quite unnerved by the rush of otherwise seemingly thinking people who saw and still see no harm in using AI actively. I do not think they understand their contribution in building it by doing so. It's as if they are curious about interacting with it, while wanting to appear to 'dis' it at the same time. I really don't get how they justify this.

Big hedge funds have been hoarding bitcoin, driving the price to all time highs and making it the hottest ponzi feast in town. Many unsuspecting cheerleaders partake in the digital dystopia hypnosis.

Maybe some truth in this but will the bad guys win ? Truely decentralised invisible and encrypted blockchain technology and decentralised AI could bring freedom enhancing privacy technology to empower decentralised communities. Old age centralised actors and institutions are trying to control bitcoin but there will be the next evolution, they won't be able to stop the creative forces of freedom, love and creativity that the aquarian age will release.

As with everything there are two sides of a coin, including a Bitcoin. Only thru the crypto exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and the defunct Celcius, and FTX, can Bitcoin holders be managed and preyed upon. Bitcoin itself, held on a hardware wallet is a private sovereign deflationary store of value. The problem is that Bitcoin is useless without these exchanges to buy, sell, transact, or trade. That doesn’t mean it can’t be used to an advantage, as therein lies a potential to exit the system (to a degree) if used wisely. But don’t to forget to diversify, because who knows?!
