The cypherpunk vision is essentially optimistic, not because it ignores the reality of human corruption, but because it engineers around it. Bitcoin does not rely on good people making good decisions; it makes good decisions inevitable through cryptographic constraints.
Decentralized networks do not depend on benevolent administrators; they remove the very category of administration itself.
that sounds good, but obviously didn't work out.
bitcoin got stuck in a state that makes it unable to fulfill it's purpose. all because (perhaps good) people made the wrong decisions. and then the sociopaths came and perverted the narratives around it to this travesty you see unfold.
there was a time and season for everything. we just go them wrong. and now have to live with the consequences of our fuck-ups.
#bitcoining doesn’t need trust or good intentions , it’s sets rules with no rulers that anyone can voluntarily adhere to 🍊✨
