I don’t mean to say we haven’t been doing this, but that giving up after the incredible progress we’ve had because a couple of things happened makes no sense. It’s a rally cry for getting people who have been sitting on the sidelines to get off their ass.

That’s a LOT of people who care about #Bitcoin but have done essentially nothing more than post on Twitter about how much they like it while expecting everyone else to do the work. It’s a call to get those people to step up and do something and drop their defeatist attitude. We have an enormous subset of tools and many aren’t utilizing them or learning what they need to learn because it’s been a *really* easy road so far.

There is and will always be a tendency to centralize, it’s literally the axiomatic nature of building things. This is just something that needs to be recognized and accepted, that this is the case and that when the next wave of centralization comes, our job is to find the elements that need to be created in a decentralized version in order to get across the next wave.

I can’t think of any time in history or any environment in which we’ve been able to respond to and solve those centralization problems as deeply and as quickly as we are right now.

Yet I still see people acting like all hope is lost. All I can think is how absurd (and also useless) that viewpoint is. 🤷🏻‍♂️
