Bitcoin was something very serious. A system of electronic money that was impossible to counterfeit, impossible to censor, and impossible to confiscate.
Bitcoin was fighting against central banks, against states, and against large corporations, where the interaction of these three agents forms what I call neo-mercantilism.
Now Bitcoin is no longer known for what it is; it has lost its essence because the three-letter agencies have gotten deeply involved in its development.
Of course, it can still perform its function, but the deterioration it has suffered in its initial idea and also in its defense is more than evident. Right now, half of the community is corrupt and participates in the state's idea.
It's curious that many influencers who defended scams like Samourai, Monero, and other crap are in favor of this, which shows that the bad actors have always been the same.
Is there a solution? With each passing day, I become more pessimistic. All they want is for Blackrock, Vanguard, and their fucking mothers to buy bitcoin. They don't care about privacy, and they don't care that Core is run by a group of lesbians and transvestites on the CIA's payroll.
