Mixers and privacy tools exist because Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. Users choose their level of privacy. Scaling via Lightning is just smart engineering, not a flaw. Government overreach? Bitcoin’s been used by dissidents worldwide; they just don’t advertise it.
Price obsession? It reflects adoption and trust in sound money. Inflation, scarcity, adoption—these prove Bitcoin’s value as freedom tech. If value tanked, true believers would still use it for censorship resistance. USD? It’s forced on people. Spy coins? Most are gimmicks with no real network security.
Personal responsibility? Fine, but shilling vague ideals over Bitcoin’s proven track record is weak. I’d consider another coin if it matched Bitcoin’s decentralization and security—none do. Name one that isn’t a scam or centralized mess. I’m waiting. Principles matter, but Bitcoin delivers.
