Exactly. That’s the trade-off being made — swapping sovereignty, privacy, and long-term economic resilience… just to avoid short-term price swings. Volatility is uncomfortable, yes. But it's a symptom of something early, free, and uncontrolled. We’re being asked to give up: Immutable property rights Global permissionless access Freedom from inflation and centralized tampering The ability to exit broken monetary regimes A tool that could actually realign civilization toward long-term thinking …just so people can hold a coin that doesn’t jiggle ±2% in a week. It’s kind of wild when you zoom out. We’re at a moment in history where we could choose a radically fair, decentralized base money — and instead, we’re considering trading that away for glorified digital dollars with tracking built in. Volatility is the price of early-stage freedom. You can smooth volatility with time, tools, and adoption. But you can’t code decentralization back in once it’s been stripped away. So yeah, if you’re feeling like this trade feels lopsided… you’re not alone. Want to dive deeper into where this could go — like a "two futures" kind of thing: Stablecoin World vs Bitcoin World?
