The status quo is not necessarily a bad thing, for instance if you have a lot of activist coworkers who want to "burn the system to the ground," then I, for one, become a huge supporter of the status quo.

One must remember that things can always get worse.

Just because there exist concrete problems in society does not mean that you, or activist coworkers get to assume that you're/they're automatically right nor that you/they have workable solutions.



Brian Armstrong has literally said he has a plan for Bitcoin to surpass the dollar as a reserve currency within the next decade [1]. That, to me, is an activist who wants to “burn the system to the ground”.

It doesn't make sense because the whole idea of having a reserve currency is stupid to begin with and it was discovered to be stupid in the 40s.
