I say this and then I’m opting out of this conversation. Bitcoin is a system, but it’s people who make it work. If every node runner abandoned the software tomorrow and the network collapsed, would that mean Bitcoin failed, or that people failed Bitcoin?

Economy doesn’t exist in a vacuum - every outcome is a result of human action. There’s no inevitability. The idea that “everything is good for Bitcoin” has become a meme, and a misleading one at that.

Saving in Bitcoin while actively supporting the fiat system is also a valid choice, one with real consequences for Bitcoin’s future. Your actions shape the Bitcoin economy just as much as anyone else’s. If more people continue down this path, the so-called Bitcoin revolution may remain nothing more than a dream.
