In all seriousness, recommend reading Broken Money by Lyn Alden. There are parts that go off the rails but the narrative about money-as-technology is solid and is very helpful for mental model purposes. There are ponzi schemes everywhere but the view that money is a societal technology, and BTC as a specific and "optimal" instance of that technology- for very precise definitions of optimal of course- is worth understanding, as the domain itself is very likely to grow under a Trump regime in the US, for better and worse. Cheers.
