Where did this optimize come from? Just because I think that individuals don't have to place the burdens of society on its shoulders, doesn't mean that people cannot willingly chose to if they want to or feel compelled to for lack of other options. But just because people decide to make whatever choices they make, doesn't mean that it will result in an optimized outcome… whatever happens from t0 to t1 will just be an outcome…
I'm not going to fool myself to think that whatever collective action can be taken, for any goals, will automatically make it optimized for any particular outcome that can be determined ahead of time with 100% certainty (or anything even close to 100%, or even understood by everyone ahead of time).

These people have always felt the brunt of the worst any society has to offer throughout history, just because you want to do something about it for whatever reason, lofty idealized pie in the sky or not, the likelihood of that changing from one system to another seems pretty low.
And I say that as someone who feels marginalized by the current centralized through global TBTF banking/corporate order and is actively building decentralized systems (have nearly all of my "money"/"store of value"/whatever in these decentralized systems and not the TBTF bailoutistan ones). I'm not going to pretend that the ills that have plagued society throughout history are just magically going to go away just because there are uncollateralized and decentralized stablecoins for people to transact value in. Nor will I pretend that people who think "central" banks are central or think they have a monopoly on what value can be denominated and transacted in will have the same calling as I to work on such things.
