Agree. Bitcoin is a fun experiment / proof of concept.
I'd add that I hope we will eventually tackle the energy problem, hopefully without throwing away the good parts of decentralization / distributed ledgers.
It might be optimistic, but I think many early technological revolutions bring learning costs and risk environmental damage.
