    Well the fact that you call them speculative assets is part of the problem. Bitcoin wasn’t invented to be this, but as an alternative to centralized banking after the Subprimes crash of 2008. The creators’ intentention was very diffirent

    But you’re right, I should’n be comparing it to human rights. As a simpler example: the fediverse has huge potential but it’s disregarded virtually everywhere or simply unknown to the vast majority of people. I see it as progress nontheless.
