we'll see how this "don't repeat prior mistakes' thing will play out with maxed out inflation, raging corruption in western democracies, moral wars in Ukraine, rising distrust in media and a laissez-faire approach to white collar crime after the financial crisis in 2008.

I won’t comment about your other topics, but I’ll point out that current inflation is far from “maxed out”, at least in mature Western democracies with their own central bank and currency. ~9% is high historically, but inflation has run hotter in the not-so-distant past.

2% inflation is not a natural state of affairs, it’s a target that’s considered the “appropriate” amount of inflation.

Crypto solves none of those problems because those are social and political problems. You can not free your self from oppression by changing the brand on the boot.
