Bitcoin is cool and all

but the *vast majority of "bitcoiners" are cheering for NGU and fiat degens entering the space.

even here on nostr my feed is just constant price memes and insecure plebs anxious for validation from normies

which has got fuck all to do with bitcoin as freedom technology

in fact

since we're basically already ossified,

institutions entering the space is NOT in the long-term interest of the network

but everybody would rather just say "Bitcoin is inevitable" and think about how rich they're going to be

than actually think critically about how we scale and the threats involved.

Overall I think that Bitcoin appeals to a wider variety of people. You have it transforming the lives of people in poorer countries. Using it in every day life for everything. They are the beta testers for a new paradigm shift.

Our sit back and stack fat stacks is just a different class of people. Who are either already rich, or are just trying to stay humble. Keeping each other in a positive mindset.

um

which country is it where people are using it every day for everything and their lives are transformed?

I really hate it the most when bitcoin maxis insist that bitcoin makes alts obsolete, it brings sovereignty to the masses, it protects you from this and that, but they haven't done any of the BIPs necessary to actually deliver on these things. self-custody doesn't even scale right now. they literally sound like ethereum people when they make promises they haven't actually delivered yet.
