Banks and governments accepting Bitcoin was always inevitable.

It's exciting and it does mean, in many ways, we've won already.

However now is the time to be laser focused on why we are all really here and for the principled Bitcoiners among us to not lose sight of what's really important.

Banks and governments are not our friends. They never were. They never will be.

So when they "adopt" Bitcoin, don't mistake their participation for alignment. They're not here to decentralize power. They're here to stay relevant in a world where power is decentralizing without their permission.

The victory isn't them holding Bitcoin. The victory is you holding Bitcoin. In your custody. Under your control. Unseizable. Uncensorable. Yours.

That hasn't changed just because the enemy learned to speak our language.

Self-custody isn't a feature. It's the entire point. 🧡
