While I understand how inflation may, in theory, be something that could change with some breakthrough in economics (even though I don't buy that inflation is actually a problem, or that cryptocurrencies represent such a breakthrough), I have no idea how they would be of help fighting "corruption and bad governance". Which is the problem with that community: they seem to have these extremely naive yet cynical view of politicians just being "stupid", money being wasted, everyone being corrupt etc. And that, somehow, their funny little hashes are the silver bullet to solve these issues.

I think the Bitcoin community give the rest of the space a bad name. There are too many people with fringe libertarian views in that space that dominate the narrative. Ethereum, I've found is a much more interesting space. It's valuable because you can actually use the blockchain for things more complicated than just sending coins around. As stupid as many of the NFTs are right now, they have the potential to completely change how the art, music and gaming industries are monetized. Defi has a huge potential to make banking more efficient and provide banking services to underserved areas as long as they have an internet connection.
