I think this is less about Bitcoin being screwed, and more a criticism of the neo-libertarian escapist approach to economics.

That we all depend on the systems that govern our world, from the clean(er) laws physics of it all the way up to the wet, nasty dynamics that emerge from collective human behaviour, and no clever use of technology will ever make that not true.

Technology can (and often does) make those systems better, though. And focusing on that instead of building a worldview around the escapist fantasy seems prudent
