If you are not hopeful of humanity, you’re not going to navigate owning and HODL’ing Bitcoin very well.
NGU requires no faith in humanity. But getting through your fears of what people will use the chain for and how they will leave it for our descendants requires a strong faith in our better selves prevailing as a species.
Bitcoin won’t alter humanity or fix a God-damned thing unless we allow it to and that requires the utmost faith that humans will make it work.
