Yes, I agree, and this is all very cool, however regarding this point:

So approval from the government in the case of crypto is worth about as much as it is for making love. It's the losing side of a game saying "You know what, we'll be so gracious as to allow you to win". Never needed your permission to begin with.

You’re referencing the point of Bitcoin, not the point of crypto. Other platforms aren’t interested in destroying the existing financial system and would much rather digitize it and make it open to everyone.
