I think it all depends on the person most people want "stablity" and comfort and would rather choose the illusion created by these institutions because its the norm, but the truth is there is no real stablity, life is about dealing with choas an entropy and if you never learn that you never learn to adapt and have the survival skills you need to fully develop as a person.
I think my jounry to bitcoin and trying to explain it to others was a real eye opener, it was the first time I was passionate about something that was really shunned by most people and I saw how reluctant people are to learn new things or question their preconcienved ideas of reality
It's a simple game, with a simple scoreboard and sure anything can happen but I feel more in control and I can see it as the means to some of my goals of leaving the city, going off-grid, and being more self-reliant.
The journey itself has it's own merits and there's a sense of fulfilment you get with every step no matter how small it is, I am learning more now than I ever did before and im gratful. I'm more focused on making sure I improve mentally and physically, and its made a difference to me
I would encourage you to keep digging, and sharing I am too and will be happy to share with you, yes its uncomfortable but its far better than staying asleep. stay hungry and stay foolish
