What's your favorite Bitcoin quote?

I'll start:

"There are 11,000 cryptos. I own one. Bitcoin" - nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m

He is an enemy of bitcoin. Self custody, peer to peer transfers and immutable is the only reason bitcoin has value. He wants to remove that. Instead of fanboying him, speak out against that shit.

Wouldn't you give him the benefit of the doubt, given the countless good things he has done?

Why? What has he done? Name one open source project he has supported? Name one thing he has done except getting bitcoin to a broader audience? People follow him like he is Jesus Christ. He is now trying to change the narrative, even though we all know he understands bitcoin fully. People listen to him, he is not stupid. He talked about bitcoin on a fundamental level in the beginning, we know he understands the value proposition.

Why did he change his attitudes toward self custody, the main selling point in the bitcoin ethos is a mystery.

What good is bitcoin if you are supposed to trust third parties? What benefits does that bring, except enriching the people all ready rich?

The ground foundation of bitcoin is equal rules for everyone. If the narrative changes and people forget the principles, we have no more than a shiny rock in cyberspace, handled by banks and large entities.

So, what did you think when hearing him changing narrative about self custody?

I don't know. I think it's a little forced this change in his narrative, given the countless times he's spoken well of it. We will see how his narrative evolves in the coming weeks/months

Yeah. Something’s off, that’s for sure. Either this rumor that his company is becoming a bitcoin bank is true, which is plausible for sure. Or someone told him that he needs to chill 😂 Either way, it goes against a lot of things he spoke about in the past. Let’s see how it develops.. his words matters to a lot of people, whether we like it or not.

Have a great evening! 😀

I guess he just forgot about the cyber hornets. Just posted this.
