if you don’t enjoy it, don’t consume it

why are you in this thread? you don’t seem to want to have a conversation. you make assumptions about my intents and motives, based on nothing but pure speculation. are you enjoying this? do you think this anger is healthy for you?

I'm trying to understand those motives you say I am making assumptions about, but you seem to prefer to deflect rather than answer.

So you are telling me there isn't financial motive? I'd like to understand what it is if it isn't that.

You went from preaching sovereign ownership of crypto, decentralization, and freedom, to promoting centralize custodials, POS, and NFTs.

That's a pretty big 180. From being on CT for years it seems strange that you would change your stance so drastically.

PS I have no issue with ordinals.

Before this reply you didn’t ask any questions, so how can you say I’m deflecting rather than answer?

I tried to explain my point of view, and then you made a bunch of assumptions and assertions about my motives. Where did I deflect anything?

I think everyone has financial motives. It would be silly to pretend that I don’t. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I also had financial motives when I chose to get into bitcoin and tell everyone I know about it.

My thoughts on custody evolved after spending thousands of hours helping people learn about self-custody. I’ve seen countless people choose to pass on investing in bitcoin early, because they found self-custody confusing. If they used coinbase instead, they’d be way better off.

So my belief today is that self-custody needs to exist as an option, and power users like you and me will probably use it, but MOST people will not. They need good custodial options.

I assume you’re probably referring to some specific one but this reply is already very long so I’ll let you say what is the specific thing you’re bothered about and we can continue from there
