I understand what you are getting at.
i get the economic points.

shells worked, until harder money beat it. they didn’t break, u can still use it as money, it’s just not as good.

fiat is being exchanged everyday for real goods and services, it functions as money quite well. but the catch is it also is an instrument of control.

that’s not broken money

if what we mean by “broken” is really replaced by something better, then then that applies to everything and means nothing.

the point is a myopic economic analysis of money is clumsy at best and naive at worst.
it won’t cut it.
that will not orange pill the masses

we can peddle as fast as we can in 1st gear and won’t get very far.
need higher moral gears to make the machine work.

thre entire “broken” rhetoric aims at a true directions, but is philoophically sophomoric.

it’s not a personal slight or attack, it’s just true.

if we use clumsy obtuse language, it’s no surprise it doesn’t cut through to the normal people who need bitcoin the most
