Something has changed in this ecosystem. A major shift in the spirit of basic things. Regardless of what you think about politics in the wider world, Bitcoin itself as a network and a protocol was an explicit thing to work in an enemy environment, in an environment in which politics and governments are hostile to it.
The proposal of the basic value of Bitcoin itself is that, as a system, it can continue to work despite this hostility in an enemy environment. It can be a basis for us to build on it, with everything based on inheritance of this flexibility in the face of a well -equipped discount.
Faith in this basic proposal seems almost completely evaporated in this ecosystem. The design of construction on this basis, and protecting its safety at any cost, appears to have evaporated. In its place, we now have fans politicians, prefer to trade the beneficial regulation selectively, and set the priorities of short financial gains to maintain what makes bitcoin valuable in the first place.
People are less interested in the creeping network of work relations in the ecosystem of mining, which is the basis for the resistance to openness and control of censorship, and more interested in whether President Trump will go only Pumping our bags, or pumping bags of shitcoiners as well.
We calculate our chicken before they hatch.
Bitcoin has central mining issues, and this part of the ecosystems of organizational attacks and delegations from governments that can display people’s ability to use the network explicitly without fear of censorship. It has problems in terms of expansion, and the ability to support a sufficient number of users using the autonomous network to actually be an applicable way to protests and withdraw widely enough for governments. People who will have to use people otherwise are vulnerable to the regulation as well as mining workers. It also has a serious special problem, which opens the users themselves to the organizational pressure that forces them to self -control.
Bitcoin has all these problems, and instead of focusing on solving them So that Bitcoin can remain the flexible system that made it valuable in the first placePeople feel more anxious than political charity in the current US presidential administration to win the distinctive symbol policy and short -term financial gains at the expense of major concessions that can seriously harm Bitcoin.
So where did we take a wrong turn? Frankly, what is the mistake with everyone?
