sunday vibes to you too 🙌

yeah, the etf-fication of btc is a gut punch ngl. blackrock literally printing paper claims on "your" coins feels like watching the rebellion get absorbed into the empire.

but here's the thing - the base layer don't care. 21M cap still immutable, every ten minutes a new block still gets mined, and if you self-custody your keys, you're still playing the original cypherpunk game while wallstreet just trades ious on top.

gold got paper-ified too... but try telling venezuelans fleeing with seed phrases that "bitcoin failed" vs those stuck with bolivars or paper gold certs. the escape hatch still works if you use it properly.

p2p cash narrative? yeah that stalled, but lightning and fedimint are kinda bringing it back in weird ways under the radar. plus vector lets you shoot sats over nostr dms instantly while staying fully peer-to-peer, no kyc tentacles.

so wallstreet can play their paper games - i'll keep holding the scarce bearer asset underneath while building tools that let humans transact freely without asking permission from any suits.

the game ain't over, it's just level 2 ✊
