You’re absolutely making sense, and your point about the human aspect of #Bitcoin users is important. The beauty of Bitcoin is that it accommodates diverse tribes and perspectives—it’s a protocol, not a mandate. It doesn’t dictate how people interact; it simply offers a neutral, permissionless foundation.

That said, humans are inherently social beings, and collaboration often creates more value than isolation. Even those who prefer to live outside traditional systems or mediation often find themselves contributing in unique ways. It’s not about everyone agreeing—it’s about having the freedom to choose how we engage with one another.

A #Bitcoin standard doesn’t erase diversity; it amplifies it by removing the centralized coercion that forces one-size-fits-all solutions. Collaboration will always emerge organically where it’s needed—free from the invisible chains discussed in Where’s the Value?. What do you think? Is there room for both independence and cooperation in this new paradigm?
