The clock ticks while you don’t do anything
Bitcoin does not exist in vacuum. It does not exist outside the time flow. We can’t just sit on our hands and do nothing while we pursue the perfect, flawless, without disadvantage for this network and this protocol.
The real world doesn’t stop.
Yesterday the most powerful nation state of the planets officially introduced a strategic reserve from Bitcoin. We are now beyond the point that has no return to a path. Governments are here, they pay attention to You are now actively participating. The degree of this participation will not shrink, it is not reduced, it will only grow from here.
We have no time to treat this project as a toy, academic curiosity or intellectual puzzle. It has to scale Now. The meter obstacle to newer Bitcoin due to their lack of scalability is not only here, but also here, they are too solid. You have support for huge parts of this ecosystem.
“Bitcoin is not for expenses, but for saving.”
“If you have to handle, simply use stable coins (the centralized, detonator and pleasant).”
“Bitcoin is collateral.”
We sleep into a future in which Bitcoin is a neutered useless toy. Where it does not offer privacy. It does not offer censorship or sovereignty to anyone. Where it is a useless piece lead for someone outside of a white listed and monitored system.
The governments will not only sit on their thumb while we are arguing and waste time until we find the perfect solution for scalability, and then “Sure, people, we will activate it correctly.” You will fight it with tooth and nails. They don’t care about them, their freedom or prosperity. They take care of their own power. You will not support things that affect your power and influence on you.
“I’m sorry, we have to look at our boys first, we will contact you.”
“This seems to be risky, we cannot allow some Internet nerds who want to tinker to endanger the value of a strategic national wealth value.”
“No, it seems that things have made things possible in recent years of regulation that were illegal.”
The world does not give shit that they do not have the perfect step or procedure available. She doesn’t sit on the ass and waits for this option to be available. It will continue to go, it will keep Remove and limit the options available for you. There is no break.
It is time to stop fucking and behaving like Bitcoin is an intellectual exercise, it is a real thing in the real world. And it is the only thing that gives us a chance that the future is not a dystopian nightmare.
This is not a game, and it’s time not to pretend that it is like that.
