Great points made.

We rarely solve problems with the same mind that created them. By the same token, we rarely change the system by engaging with the same system. We need something different.

This is what crypto is doing in my view. We are slowly tearing down the power structure that is in place. It is a slow process but the more people who enlist in this battle, the faster it will proceed.

Those you mention have insulated themselves through the present system. However, that does not work if we develop an entirely new one. Suddenly the rules they were living by no longer apply.
