Why? What has he done? Name one open source project he has supported? Name one thing he has done except getting bitcoin to a broader audience? People follow him like he is Jesus Christ. He is now trying to change the narrative, even though we all know he understands bitcoin fully. People listen to him, he is not stupid. He talked about bitcoin on a fundamental level in the beginning, we know he understands the value proposition.

Why did he change his attitudes toward self custody, the main selling point in the bitcoin ethos is a mystery.

What good is bitcoin if you are supposed to trust third parties? What benefits does that bring, except enriching the people all ready rich?

The ground foundation of bitcoin is equal rules for everyone. If the narrative changes and people forget the principles, we have no more than a shiny rock in cyberspace, handled by banks and large entities.

So, what did you think when hearing him changing narrative about self custody?
