Bitcoin isn't inevitable. That's what I call religious. Most people who study bitcoin understand that it's far from inevitable.
And to embrace chaos and destruction because it will produce something good - sort of an analogy with wildfire - is a dangerous path that I vividly will argue against. In the same way as I will argue against people who say that Bitcoin is "a weapon", or that central banks should print money to buy bitcoin or thar governments should "invest" in bitcoin. I think those ideas are based on an misunderstanding of bitcoin money, government, private property, monetary policy and politics in general.
But I will defend to my death your right to disagree with me, as Voltaire said.
