Too much hype around bitcoin, still.  Not enough focus on what it can actually do and what kind of problems it solves.  That's why the mainstream news only follows price.

I am always really hesitant to put too much faith in crypto because it's easy to be on one side or the other, it's a lot harder to be nuanced.  Still, it's getting harder and harder to see a situation where national currencies are preferable to bitcoin (+hive), other than coercion, where they just make life difficult for those of us who use crypto.  

I hope that in a world of abundance, exchange is less of a thing, and gifting and sharing and relationships becomes more of the norm when it comes to energy transfer. Obviously exchange isn't going to disappear, but in the old days, tradeable currencies were often just something used between different tribes, not inside of a tribe.  I think 100 years from now, that will be the norm again.
