The current problem of Bitcoin for me is that its value is still depending on dollars. If my wages were paid in Bitcoin or my landlord demanded I paid rent in Bitcoin, I would use it, but otherwise it is useless, risky and an environmental disaster to me.

I don't even understand the problem it's trying to solve. Having governments and banks on control of currency isn't a problem for 99.99% of the people, including myself. And what is this "social contract" that has nothing social about it?

And I disagree with you, Bitcoin currently can be manipulated because of its necessary relationship with the US dollar and the reliance on centralized exchanges.
