It's a fallacy to look at what you can see and not count in opportunity cost and what could have been done if there were no economical disasters created by governments all over the world. We'd probably had flying cars already and free wi-fi everywhere if people were allowed to save money and invest how they like.
During Putin's regime computers got 12 times faster too. Is it thanks to "stability of the economy" that Putin provided?
Agreed, the same fallacy is used by brainwashed soldiers and other people to defend wars. They say we wouldn't have the GPS, the Internet, canned food, etc., and that we shouldn't complain, and that it's ironic that we do it using the Internet.
At least, when everyone is on Bitcoin, you can't shift purchasing power to you (via inflation or massive taxation) and have bigger vote on how cars should be designed. You have to earn your vote (make people send you bitcoins voluntarily) to shift the status quo.
