Powerful words, FreeYoda and I agree wholeheartedly.

Bitcoin is the tool. But tools are neutral. It’s our values and decisions that shape what gets built with it.

The project I’ve been working on looks deeply into this:

Not just how Bitcoin could be abused, but how quickly it’s already being wrapped in the very systems it was meant to escape, repackaged, collateralised, and offered back to the people without the freedom.

You’re right, not owning your keys isn’t just a technical detail, it’s a cultural signal.

If enough people outsource sovereignty again, we’re just swapping one fiat cage for another, this time with slicker branding and digital bars.

We have the tech. We have the chance.

But we also have human nature, short-termism, and apathy working against us.

Let’s not screw this up.

Appreciate your voice in this 👊🏻
