The cultural tone of the entire ecosystem has moved wildly in recent years. “Bitcoin Maximalists” are essentially vanished in the background in terms of any kind of influence or cultural impact.
Dominating narratives, real actions and a real impact have become completely dominated by the vessels, by the types of Wall Street Clownish that build the same identical type of financial products with exploitation degenerated on top of Bitcoin that caused the 2008 financial crisis, or the degenerate, degenerate the ordinances obsessed with Cyphepherpks with a MODIC attribute the property of JPEG.
It is frankly a little disgusting and embarrassing that things have reached this point in this space. All significant drivers for growth and adoption are dragging people into a culture of dead thought of the brain completely devoid of any understanding or understanding of the true value offered by bitcoin, censorship and decentralization resistance, or a culture of the use of those things for the stupid, more insignificant, imaginable rather than truly use of impact that can change life in a positive way.
But here we are.
These two opposite and self-conforting eco rooms dominate the stage. They are managing the largest cabins that inaugurate the new competitors in the ecosystem. Yes, individuals can and will travel their path and some new arrivals could stumble some of these, but most will not do it. Most will end up following the or degens suitcases.
In that political reality, I will stay with the Degens.
All that they commit themselves is an insane, idiotic, useless imaginary nonsense nonsense, but at least appreciate and include resistance to censorship and the decentralization that creates it. They appreciate the value of self -custody and tools that allow them to do what they want with their money without having to ask someone else for permission.
Suitcases do not understand any of these things. They don’t worry about self -custody. They think that decentralization is only a magical word, or a characteristic set in granite rather than a dynamic property that can do and flow. They don’t care about the value that an unstoppable monetary network resistant to the company can lead to society. They only care about gaining dollars in the safe garden of the Legacy system.
Bitcoin begins to lose all the properties that give him the opportunity to restore the world, to create a level and neutral playing field for everyone, if his decentralization is eroded. Without those things it becomes nothing but a poor resource trapped in the garden walled in inherited. No money without permission, no native currency of the internet, only a new people from Stonk buys as a fund fund S&P.
This is the direction in which the suitcases will take us if left uncontrolled or not opposite. So reluctantly, I have to take sides with the Degens. I could have nothing in common with them except a real appreciation and respect for the resistance to censorship, but this is what really matters at the end of the day.
