what if the mass marketing brainwashers got caught in their own loop?
Satoshi factored in a difficult adjustment algorithm,
2nd decade, time to adjust to difficulty presented.
I'd love to think that this was "all part of the plan" but to be hones I think Bitcoin was more of a "here goes nothing".
no question it was unleashed with an approach something like that, knowing it would adjust to difficulties? definitely to challenge the mass marketers, which (I think) are trapped.
