I worry bitcoiners aren’t doing enough to boot strap a circular economy. unless people can buy goods and services in bitcoin the movement will fail. I welcome the likes of silvergate and coinbase going down as I think long term it will be good for bitcoin. I am happy to see the dollar price flat to down during the transition. the point of bitcoin should be self sovereignty and a seizure and censor resistant SoV /P2P spending tool which can travel at the speed of light and anyone can participate in without permission by running a full node and mining. The vs USD NGU narrative is not useful and is heading potentially for a giant rug pull as US administration blocks liquidity. I also think “the institutions” came too early and would rather they lost interest in bitcoin. This needs to be a grass roots movement by the plebs for the plebs as we build an alternative system—brick by brick—which likely won’t really improve life for us materially (other than the joy of being engaged in meaningful work) but will potentially make life much better for our children and grandchildren.
