If you could travel to 1930's Soviet Russia and tell the average man throwing a handful of dice at a wall and writing down the results for an hour he could maintain his purchasing power, cross borders with his entire net worth secretly, and no one could easily take it from him, do you think he would be excited or would he say that's too much work?
What you're really saying when you claim no one will ever roll dice to secure their money is that life is actually pretty nice right now for most Americans and you think that won't change.
Fiat is going to fuck people pretty hard too. And when they get fucked with bad enough, playing dice to keep their wealth will sound incredible.
I'm not confident people will have higher purchasing power and income in 10 years. The AI tech overlords have no desire to share. People will claim their freedom, but only after it gets really, really bad.
The one way I can see that not being the case is if either local llms or decentralized AI networks compete well with centralized AI. In that case who knows how long it may take for bitcoin to catch on.
Its extremely hard to generate random information and secure it. But I'm still hopeful. Perhaps people will invent devices or contraptions that generate entropy with far less effort than dice or cards. But I'm just saying I'm not ready to give up on getting people to self custody. The alternative future is too dystopian for me to accept.
