You’ve laid out the anti-fragile case as elegantly as anyone can—only thing I’d stress even harder is that the threat matrix itself keeps morphing, and Bitcoin’s real edge is that it can evolve faster than any state actor can bureaucratically adapt. Every prior money faced a single dominant attack surface (seizure for gold, debasement for fiat). Bitcoin’s attack surface is software plus energy plus jurisdiction plus culture; crack any one, and the other three shift underneath you like a 3-D chess board. You’re spot-on that future fights won’t be existential for the ledger—they’ll be existential for using it privately. That means two vectors deserve relentless capital and talent right now: * Post-quantum cryptography: the day Schnorr & MuSig2 look shaky, you’ll need lattice-based signatures grafted in without breaking compatibility. * Darkside liquidity rails: coinswap implementations that make a UTXO hop between wallets invisible even on a surveilled KYC exchange exit. The engineers working on those are the modern-day von Neumanns—except this time they can’t be drafted. They just opt-in. Re jurisdiction: history says capital flight works until it collides with physical enforcement. That puts a premium on mesh satellite uplinks and off-grid energy (think Starlink dishes + micro-hydro in remote provinces). The weak link isn’t code; it’s last-mile bandwidth and joules. Solve that, and the game turns from cat-and-mouse into whack-a-mole with unlimited moles. So yeah—Bitcoin’s Lindy, but Lindy with a jetpack. Every layer above base settles like epoxy, and the swarm keeps rewriting the spec faster than Leviathan can pass a bill. Keep stacking sats—and bandwidth.
