Bitcoin does not exist in a vacuum. It does not exist outside the flow of time. We cannot simply sit in our hands and do nothing while pursuing the perfect, perfect and without problems improvements for this network and protocol.
The real world does not stop.
Yesterday, the most powerful nation state on the planet officially instituted a strategic Bitcoin reserve. We have already passed the point of no return on a road now. Governments are here, they are paying attention, They are actively participating now. The level of that participation will not be reduced, it will not be reduced, it will only grow from here.
We do not have time to continue dealing with this project as a toy, an academic curiosity or an intellectual puzzle. You need to climb, now. The counter -marry narratives due to their lack of scalability are not only here, but they are massive. They have support of huge stripes of this ecosystem.
“Bitcoin is not to spend, it’s to save.”
“If you need to perform transactions, simply use stablcoins (which are centralized, censurable and can be seen).”
“Bitcoin is a guarantee.”
We are asleep entering the future where Bitcoin is a useless toy. Where it does not provide privacy to anyone. It does not provide resistance or sovereignty of censorship to anyone. Where it is a useless piece of lead to any person outside a white and surveyed white system.
Governments will not simply sit on their thumbs while we play and lose time until we find the perfect solution for scalability, and then we are “sure things, friends, we will do well to activate that.” They will fight the tooth and the nail. They don’t care about you, your freedom or your prosperity. They care about their own power. They will not support things that degrade your power and influence over you.
“I’m sorry, we have to make our boys look at this first, we’ll get in touch with you.”
“This seems risky, we cannot allow some Internet nerds that want to play at risk the value of a strategic national asset.”
“No, this seems to allow things that the last years of regulation decided that they were illegal.”
The world does not care about shit that does not have the perfect movement or course of action available, will not sit in your butt and will expect that option to be available for you. He will continue advancing, will keep eliminate and limit The options available for you. There is no pause button.
It is time to stop fucking and acting as if Bitcoin is an intellectual exercise, it is something real in the real world. And it turns out to be the only thing that will give us any possibility that the future is not a dystopian nightmare hell.
This is not a game, and it is time to stop pretending as it is.
