What are the most important #Bitcoin cultural moments (ie. Bitcoin being accepted or legitimized) in the past 2 years that you remember?

They don’t want it…the prisoners dilemma is forcing it
Becoming based af

When I could use my savings to carry me between career opportunities. God bless Bitcoin for bringing that back to humanity.
Hate to say it but Trump winning is the biggest. First both Trump and RFK Jr. are keynote speakers at the biggest bitcoin conference, and next thing you know they're in the White House. Bitcoin has flexed it's political muscles. Now we see if Trump keeps his promises #FreeRoss

Legitimisation
Never needed their ok for Bitcoin, wont start asking for permission now.

Sigh 😞
I think Anchorwatch launching normie insurance on Bitcoin custody where customers still have keys will be a watershed moment.
When El Salvador accepted Bitcoin as legal tender I had high hopes for African continent to in adopting too, we're getting there, there's no stopping us now, but we keep pushing
