I am wondering. What‘s your take on a long term scenario for BTC? I guess returning to a new bitcoin standard (as in „former gold standard“) where bitcoin would back everything as gold did is most likely IMO. I doubt that countries / IMF will let the control they have with currencies go. So using BTC to back currencies and forcing them to be deflationary would be already an amazing achievement. Happy to discuss!
Definitely the Remaster. I would go for DS1 first. Yes gameplay will feel odd but you‘ll get used to it. It‘s a fantastic introduction to the series and you‘ll see how much Fromsoftware learned and improved since then. Fair warning: DS1 might feel easier for you. DS3 on the other hand is more similar to ER.
