We haven't won until everyone locked in prison or facing prison for selling Bitcoin or coding freedom tech is free. We haven't won until you can buy something with Bitcoin with triggering a capital gains tax liability. We haven't won until on ramps and off ramps to Bitcoin don't require KYC. We haven't won until we have privacy in Bitcoin. People are in defense mode because regardless of the glory of "number go up", all it takes to set everything back is a an anti Bitcoin administration taking back over in 4 years. I am "grown up" enough to realize we have only won the battle not the war, and Bitcoin's main adversary remains the nation state regardless of who is temporarily occupying the White House. Use the lull to strengthen Bitcoin and Bitcoin circular economies so that when the assault on freedom continues we are ready for it.

Whether all of that happens or not, that’s a work in progress.
What matters more is the integrity of the network, followed by the usability. These are secured and everything else will unfold over time. Hopefully sooner than later.
