Hah, its all protected by the proof of violence state. When someone is physically trying to take your assets, your going to convert that currency as fast as possible into physical force or protection.

The problem is a deep misunderstanding of currency. The structure of currency is a tool humans use to exert and identify power within groups. The idea that a decentralized currency will change human nature or goals to control miss the forrest for the trees.

We are animals the violence, control and waning and waxing dominance is the only predictable outcome.

That's a darker picture than what actually it is. Violence is mostly driven by lack of resources. When humans can co-operate for better outcomes, they usually do (or at least the successful societies).

I agree with this. Most people see currency as money or wealth when, in reality, it's a representation of the structure of the system. That's why some countries are experiencing high inflation: It's not the printing of money but rather a symptom of deep internal problems within their economy. See Argentina for example.

Sure, we arent always violent, but there always be people wanting what others have and imbalance otherwise there would be no relative value established.

Great example. I dont think its a bug that crypto is almost fully adopted by people who come from means. People are living in very different systems even in the US currently
