The new world is just the old world's stamp of approval. Anything in between is just cowboy's having fun until the sheriff's consolidate their power. Nothing is new under the sun; even in crypto.

Bold statement, considering the ideals of decentralization and the disruption to power it's designed to create. Of course, your position is a safe one to take. What happens if you're wrong? Everyone wins? Oh no! What a tragedy, lol.
Unfortunately I'm just a pessimist. World history has generally sucked. Crypto isn't going to make the past smell any better then what the fuck-tards in charge have done with this earth. Decentralization is great and I love the idea of it; but you mentioned greed and power. There's people just born that way and they will suck on anyone or anything's teet until they consolidate power and take from others to keep themselves propped up.
I would rather you be right (for the record)
There's also another aspect to it that a lot of people forget about. If you want to be a professional athlete then you have to cheat. You must use performance enhancing drugs because "everyone is doing it" and if you don't you're at a supreme disadvantage.
The economy is the same way. There are plenty of people out there who would very much like to not choose the greedy-as-fuck option, but they feel like they can't do it because again, that would put them at a huge disadvantage.
The systems we are trying to build on flat architecture have an emphasis on reputation. Good acting can now be monetized, allowing the entire system to change.
I am hearing and listening to what you are saying. It's a worthy cause and belief system. I just know from my own family history that you can have your father shot in front of you, your belongings stripped, and made to work in a camp until you die.
That my friend is my reminder that those same bastards who do these terrible things won't sit back and let control get out of their control. Perhaps I'm just in a fucking bad mood because my teenage kids were just told they cannot play outdoor hockey.. for their.. PROTECTION.
This next decade will be riddled with extreme strife. I even want to create a system that makes it x100 times easier to memorize that 12 word seed phrase so crypto can't be stripped from individuals.
That being said the ways of the old world are coming to an end. The powers that be have always maintained that power by cutting off the heads of their opponents. Crypto has no head, and abundance technology can't be contained without making serious concessions.
I could use the optimism.. I truly do. Desperate pieces of shit do desperate things. They erode your 'rights' for their protection. Either way I'll be part of any movement that tries to preserve liberty.
The way to do this securely is better hardware personal use, and better/more user friendly versions of it.
I can think of something cool: You log into HIVE or LEO etc and just use a hardware like a YubiKey, just press a button and you're done. No remembering.
In fact, I believe all the pieces are already in place for something like that.
