In Bitcoin and Nostr, a false dilemma (ake either/or fallacy) often divides people: either adoption must reach millions, or it’s considered a failure. This mindset is like saying a small plant must become a massive tree overnight, or it’s not worth growing at all.

Cypherpunks like Satoshi ignored these extremes. They focused on writing code and solving problems, knowing growth happens step by step. Polarization halts progress—pragmatic solutions nurture it.

Consistency and progress > pumping and dumping
