Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.

Many pay lip service to the freedom ethos of Bitcoin, but in practice you can see that it's merely an investment asset to them.

All that they truly care about is realizing massive capital gains. Number go up at all costs.

Bitcoin didn't used to be dominated by that culture of greed. "Number go up" replaced "freedom money" as the dominant mindset in the space.

I've been mulling over this culture shift all morning in light of the Bitcoin Magazine conference 🤮 and I think I'm going to have to get it off my chest and write an article on Yakihonne later today.
