If you want only humans in crypto and not entities and manipulators doing things you don't want, you need to explore restrictive licensing, and coin privacy. Blockstream / Core / Lightning ... likely to return favor to their upstream GovBankCorp paymasters now. ETF's, EDX's, GovBankPols, etc... can all be forked around as needed, but pointless if no privacy or scale. ASIC mining was always a centralizing mistake. Staking was always a centralizing mistake. If you listened to cpunks and had been doing a real privacy coin (p2p distributed, blockchain-storage-less, asic-hard, cryptographic levels of privacy, no-features, fair-launch, no-governance, no founder/dev reward, anon-devs, PoW, simply money) all these years... you probably would have won already. So while price go up... do a real privacy coin and reclaim your Freedom. XMR and ZEC etc were first gen, and as such subject to same long term scale and other issues as BTC. The privacy and coin tech may now good enough to get a few next gen competing designs for a real privacy coin developed and into operation. A billion humans are waiting to use that Freedom.
