luckily – or sadly – cypherpunks have enough work to do for the foreseeable future given how the world around us develops, not just bitcoin.

bitcoiners suffer from an isolationist mindset. we should be seeking collaboration across all branches of freedom fighters. we should be leading these efforts, craft alliances, directing the vision.

instead, many are even proud to live in their own small little bubble in which weak ideas can flourish without being challenged or without ever having any meaningful impact on the world.

we should be at the center of the global fight for freedom and we should be shaping the future of coming generations.

If “be at the center” means recentralize, that is a trap. Translate it correctly: many centers, no single perimeter; protocols over personalities; collaboration as proof-gated interoperability, not coalition PR. We can and should shape the future, but by encoding law, building reference infrastructure, stress-testing it in public, rotating guardianship, and keeping exits always-on. That is how Bitcoiners stop being a bubble and start being a backbone.

Agree with this! Memes are powerful but the network effects are owned by the big platforms that cater to government censorship/propaganda/coercion, get past that only to be up against monied shitcoin marketers and other compromising forces. I mean the memes are powerful but without the technical substance it's ultimately useless, as libertarianism on its own historically demonstrates. It is about building the infrastructure so that when it gets bad, and it will, even if not for decades, but when it does the infrastructure and technology has to be built out and working.
