lol, she taught 2nd…I helped grade papers. Now she helps struggling readers or those with difficulty learning. Jesus Christ kid, I’ve seen what they teach, lol, it’s not propaganda.

The way you act like you know what you are talking about but have zero idea IS the hallmark of being brainwashed with propaganda.

Get a better education and learn how to spell, it’s “steal” not “steel”. Too funny!

Also, you are not a goddamn sovereign individual (again check your spelling). You are just a kid who wants to find an edgy identity to cling to.

My wife has been a teacher for 19 years. Your comment is so ignorant, it proves that we need to invest more in education.

//Bitcoin Culture is Dead: How Institutional Capture Killed the Revolution

I discovered Bitcoin in 2013, and it felt like witnessing the birth of something genuinely revolutionary. Here was a tool that could enable truly free markets, permissionless exchange, and economic sovereignty outside state control. The promise wasn't just digital gold—it was the foundation for an entire ecosystem of voluntary exchange.

By the time I registered with BitShares and later MakerDAO in 2017, I saw the natural evolution: programmable money, decentralized stablecoins, synthetic assets—all the financial instruments people actually need to participate in global markets. These weren't betrayals of Bitcoin's vision; they were its fulfillment. They offered people practical tools for economic freedom, not just a store of value to HODL.

//The Betrayal

But Bitcoin culture chose a different path. Instead of celebrating these innovations as expansions of unregulated markets, the community turned hostile. Those who once championed permissionless innovation began gatekeeping what counted as "real" cryptocurrency. They built walls where there should have been bridges.

I watched this transformation personally within the Czech crypto community between 2020-22. The pretense of caring about broader crypto culture evaporated. What emerged was pure tribalism—Bitcoin good, everything else scam. The community finally stopped pretending they cared about freedom and went full orthodoxy.

//The Philosophical Failure

Bitcoiners had the opportunity to be moral and cultural guides—to help people navigate new financial tools while maintaining principles of sovereignty and decentralization. They could have been amplifiers of unregulated markets, celebrating every innovation that gave people more tools for economic freedom.

Instead, they chose the path of the ostrich. Heads buried in sand, fingers in ears, chanting "Bitcoin fixes this" at every challenge. When DeFi offered people access to financial instruments previously gatekept by traditional finance, Bitcoiners called it a scam. When stablecoins gave people in unstable economies a practical tool for daily use, Bitcoiners dismissed them as shitcoins.

They stopped asking what people actually need. They stopped caring whether their solutions addressed real problems. The only question became: "Does it serve Bitcoin?" Everything else—utility, adoption, solving actual use cases—became secondary to narrative maintenance and price performance.

The irony cuts deep: a community that once embodied cypherpunk principles of individual sovereignty now demands ideological conformity. A movement built on questioning authority now has its own orthodoxy, complete with heresy trials for anyone who builds on other protocols.

//What Remains

Bitcoin the technology may continue. Bitcoin the cultural movement—the one that inspired me in 2013, that promised liberation through technology—that's dead. It died when curiosity became heresy, when innovation became competition, and when serving people became less important than serving the protocol's price.

Yes, philosophical depth still exists in Bitcoin—there are still cypherpunks in the margins asking hard questions and building for freedom rather than number-go-up. But here's the tragedy: when those people need visibility, funding, conference stages, or development resources, they have to interface with the institutions that actually control Bitcoin's trajectory.

And those institutions—the conferences, the media platforms, the development funding—are completely captured by the commercial/institutional layer. Money and power concentrate around figures who explicitly represent institutional capture, people like Saylor who literally advocate for Bitcoin's integration into the existing power structure.

So you get this bifurcation: rich philosophical discourse happening in the margins while the money and power concentrate around institutional capture. What remains is a cargo cult, worshipping the form while abandoning the substance. Then when it's time to "represent Bitcoin" to the world, which layer gets amplified? The Longreads philosophers or the BTC Prague conference keynotes?

The answer reveals everything. The revolution didn't fail—it was captured. The cypherpunks are still there, but they're not the ones with the megaphone. And most Bitcoiners can't tell the difference.

My husband thinks we should make a law that if you went to Epstein island, you can’t work for the government anymore. I agree.

Jede Statistik ist Propaganda. Ich habe fuer meine Wenigkeit gesprochen, mehr nicht.

Ach nö. Ski fahren ist Selbstmord. Wenn Du einen schlechten Tag erwischt, hast Du fuer den Rest des Lebens Matsch in der Birne. Wie Schumi. Arm macht es auch. Ich hab in Österreich und der Schweiz gelebt, die Kohle hab ich aber schön gespart und investiert. Und Strand und Wandern im Sommer ist eh besser.

Can you translate what that means?

#capitalism is a religion and the cognitive dissonance of the capitalist cuck is astounding! #bitcoin #nostr #truth

Ne, da sehe ich durchaus qualitative Unterschiede. Darüber hinaus hast du dahingehend recht das Korruption wesentlicher Bestandteil dieses Parteiensystems ist.

nostr:npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07 do free markets believe in property rights?

Property rights without governing enforcement does not exist…especially in a cohesive society.

You only believe in something when you can’t prove it.

You still need enforcement. I don’t know why you are dodging this question. We know historically there are animal, land, tool, product disputes. Who settles these? It’s very important.

Klappt das auch mit einem Bitcoin ?

😋

Know the difference so you can spot it. #capitalismsucks #bitcoin #nostr

But is it actually in the blockchain or no?

"Wenn schon, dann eine nachhaltigere Kryptowährung."

"Aber eigentlich eh besser Staatsanleihen, sind nicht so volatil."

Schönes Wochenende 🧡
