In 2018, Bitcoin maximalism was truly punk rock All about sticking it to the man, telling nation states and VCs that they can’t invent a better Bitcoin We have this immaculately conceived money ...

I get where you’re coming from the early “punk rock” Bitcoin spirit was about rebellion, freedom, and tearing down the old system. But if you look at it from an economic perspective, it’s natural that things have slowed down as Bitcoin became larger, more valuable, and globally relevant.
Think about gold: it wasn’t chosen as money because it was new or exciting, but because it was tested for thousands of years. It proved itself to be stable, scarce, and hard to counterfeit — that’s why it earned global trust. Bitcoin is going through a similar process.
What’s slow isn’t necessarily bad. In economics, trust is built through time and stability, not by rushing innovation. Altcoins can and should “experiment” that’s part of the broader ecosystem but experiments aren’t the same as global adoption, and the people behind of that’s shitcoins understand how to exploit very quickly other peoples . Bitcoin’s role now is to be the solid foundation layer, while others test new ideas on top or around it.
In a way, that’s proof of success: Bitcoin has grown from being “punk” to being infrastructure. The revolution didn’t end it just “matured”. Evolution, not chaos, is what ultimately wins in money.
