I will say this on a more positive note. I don't think we have 100% missed our opportunity for change.

As long as we can use Bitcoin in a permissionless manner, even if it becomes illegal or whatever, It genuinely does not matter what the state does or what politicians do or what corporations do.

Right now, at least in my mind, things are definitely fucked and heading in the wrong direction. At least in a lot of ways, but there are still silver linings in this cloud.
