To answer your latest question, in a way that gets around the too-much-nesting block:
what a "frontiersy" society? A new, cutting-edge one?
In a sense, yes. In a nation of settlers, frontiers were cutting-edge in that they were the forerunners of new cutting-edge geographical developments.
I use "frontier" as an analogy because the cryptocurrency world ain't kind to the sheltered.
Correct, well said.
