The changes in the development community have been expected as things mature and the development “organism” optimizes itself.

I was specifically referring to the wider community “movement”, which has seeming morphed away from its cypherpunk origins of bypassing the state and providing an alternative financial ecosystem to fiat, towards integration with fiat (exchanges, ETFs, payment processors), lobbying congress for bitcoin-related legislation (legal tender, “sensible regulation”), celebrating politicians who promote bitcoin, an so on.

I’ve had more than one OG privately share similar sentiments with me.

There’s a lot more I could go on about here.
