When I first found out about paper Bitcoin (
- The protocol can cap issuance at 21,000,000 BTC.
- Markets can create claims on far more than 21,000,000 BTC.
- More context: https://controlplanecapital.com/p/why-bitcoins-21m-cap-is-not-guaranteed
), I got a bit black-pilled on Bitcoin because of the Coordination Tax I've described in this article ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/what-made-me-sell-most-of-my-bitcoin ).
When you raise the problem of paper Bitcoin, captured, retarded influencers hit you with: "I hate to break it to you, but Bitcoin is for everyone."
"Bitcoin is for everyone" is true at the protocol boundary and false in the lived system.
Because the path of least resistance is: paperization + perimeter control. That means other people's choices (custody ETFs, policy clients, protocol-bloat, KYC defaults) directly degrade your outcomes — just like bad drivers raise your accident risk and premiums even if you drive perfectly.
In the lived system most people's incentives are convenience, rebates, and legality.
So power will keep steering the majority into programmable, supervised money, and that majority's behavior redefines the economic surface you live on — even if your keys are perfect.
"Bitcoin is for everyone" is an oversimplification only a retarded/captured (or both) influencer would use.
