Is there any merit in "lesser of evils" ?

Have come to the same conclusion regarding the popular cryptocurrencies however if we are to compare 'idolotry point systems' for a moment: the one which is based on an open source irreversable ledger (at least very hard to reverse) with a finite cap and a predictable, transparent issuance schedule - seems far better than 18th century version based on paper that can be printed in endless supply at the whim of central banks, no?

And given this comparison, is there not at least some aspect of positive momentum in this modern version? And that the masses of idolorty point worshippers may at least have options; and as such can pick the lesser of two evils so to speak ?

I would love to cancel all bank accounts & idolotry point gathering to instead just adopt 100% barter based on needs as you suggest for example, but there seems to be a need for 'balance' if one is to continue to interface with existing civilization - that balance may include but not limited to: engaging in idolotry point systems to play the game enough to acquire what one needs to build their own ecosystem (or to escape a toxic one ie- to fund relocation outside of major metro); particularly if you need unity you may need cooperation/collaboration from those in your immediate community who may also not be ready to entirely disavow/reject said idolotry point systems.

Furthermore, following along this pattern of iteration; ie- a cycle of lesser evils until reaching perhaps a place in whereby there is not much evil at all (perhaps to the point where it becomes like that of a harmless point system ie- apart of a game of cards amongst friends for example).

As you point out currently Bitcoin is benefiting the energy cartel and those who can simply acquire it on the open market using the previous generation of funny money - but what is to stop us from re-wiring/re-engineering the system to use 'individual power' instead of centralized (((mining))) power? In doing so could we not keep the baby while draining the bathwater?

For example, the system could be reworked for individuals to issue their own units while keeping the existing networking infrastructure in place to facilitate transactions in person or online; just how the system does today. Again - still idolotry point system, but with adapted rules that help level the playing field; and not necessarily better than barter or direct trade for what one needs immediately; ie- food for labour or equipment for food, etc but again the notion here I am eluding to is a trajectory of lesser of two evils such that we can slowly but surely 'onboard the masses to rejection of idolotry completely'.

Maybe when/if money could be successfully 'individualized' in a fun, effective, open system then maybe more people would begin to comprehend that the units are just imaginary and that it really is just a game that should be thought of as such: a game to play. Who may at which point clue in to their needs; shift the focus of their productive efforts on their immediate needs & building/maintaining ecosystems. Engaging in trade not primarily based on acquiring/selling 'units' but by mutual trade with those in and around said immediate ecosystems; maybe even using a hint of the very idolotry technology to accommodate said barter in a modernized way (ie- an app that could give you an approx realtime exchange rate for goods vs other goods or services in your local area).
