People keep arguing about Bitcoin like something “changed.”

But the truth is simple:

Bitcoin didn’t change,humans did.

Satoshi built the first money that lived completely outside the system.

No banks.

No governments.

No printing press.

No frozen accounts.

No middlemen.

Just pure, peer-to-peer value.

That part hasn’t ever changed.

What changed is how people started using it.

The chain is still unstoppable…

but the users slowly walked back into the very system Bitcoin was created to escape.

They gave their freedom to exchanges.

They chose KYC wallets.

They trusted institutions.

They begged for ETFs.

They let Wall Street become their custodian.

So now governments can’t freeze Bitcoin,

but they can freeze Bitcoiners

because most people don’t hold Bitcoin,

they hold IOUs for Bitcoin.

The network is uncensorable.

The bridges are not.

And that’s the paradox:

Bitcoin is still freedom money.

But very few people actually use it in a free way anymore.

The OGs see it.

That’s why they’re uneasy.

That’s why some are selling.

Not because Bitcoin failed

but because the culture drifted.

Bitcoin didn’t integrate into the system.

The system integrated into Bitcoin holders.

If you want the original Bitcoin, it’s still here.

You just have to use it the way it was meant to be used.
