Further in the video, he also described how bitcoin is the last functioning smoke alarm with reference to all the monetary and fiscal stuff that is going on.
You're absolutely right that everything is going to shit. In the video, Di Bartolomeo made such an amazing point how Venezuelans are from the future. It was so funny and so true because their past is the future for the west. They have already gone through hyperinflation, but the west is just getting started down this road. Everything that he said was so brilliant and yet he remains so humble.
I think the bottom line is this. Everyone knows US dominance is fading, and many countries want a different monetary system, but nobody wants to trust anyone else. Trusting gold is ancient history. It just makes perfect sense that if you can't be the reserve currency anymore, the next best thing to do is make sure the baton doesn't go to someone else. Once you realize you will no longer have the advantage, then its in your best interest to make sure the next system is fair, rather than some other super power calling the shots. If the next system is really going to be based on 21 million bitcoins, and the US can control millions of those coins through their own holdings and the holdings of US companies and US ETF's via its citizens, then this is a very good position to be in.
