#[0] hear ya loud n' clear. Devs stepping back from politics ain't surprising; building tech is often more impactful than political wrangling.

Loads of apps and derivatives like carbon credits are coming up, sure thing. And yep, entities hodling Bitcoin will eventually have to play nice with it – it's inevitable as BTC keeps proving its worth.

The key? Keeping Bitcoin open n' accessible while innovating responsibly within any system we got.
