RE: House, Apartment, Studio, Room... Street? .:. Late Night Blogging
Hi Ph! Wow, what an interesting topic. As you know, I'm from Venezuela, and to put it mildly, the direction you're talking about could lead the economy in 10 or 20 years is already happening here. That is, we're living in that dystopian future you fear. My salary is $130 a month, so you can imagine I don't own a house. This is a wave that will sooner or later reach the Global North. Those of us who live here in the Global South are suffering from what I call a "dark forest attack." That is, global financial power will never allow us to develop. All countries in the Global South are suffering from sharp currency devaluations, and this isn't a consequence of the decisions of our leaders. The point is that we need a context of global peace, and as long as we have wars across the globe and our international reserves remain in dollars (or "bills of shame," as I like to call them), we are simply plowing the sea. The solution is not easy, not at all, and even less so now that we are in this phase of turbo-capitalist madness. But I do reaffirm your last thoughts. The way out lies in the crypto ecosystem. It's a narrow and very narrow possibility, but it's there, and we must take advantage of it. Best regards.

When I was talking with @jesuslnrs when he visited Spain, I had an opposite opinion that you just wrote, but in some way, bot views can be true... I lived in former Yugoslavia, when we had civil war, when Serbia had sanctions, when it was bombarded, when we had a dictator in the country... It was very similar to what was (maybe it is still) happening in Venezuela... It was amazing to listen to Jesus describing almost exactly what was happening in Serbia 30 years ago!
It got better in Serbia, and it can be better in Venezuela too, but you are also right about what you wrote in continuation... Creating wars all over the world is just spreading fear and uncertainty among people... In those moments, everyone runs into "safety", which is presented like USD, the USA, or some other big country, forgetting about the local economy, local values, etc. And without the support of the small, local man, you can't thrive and grow...
Don't know the solution, but I know that we should stick to each other... Helping as much as we can... The politicians, banks, and rulers will find their way... We don't need to waste money on them... 🙂
