What are you afraid of?

Bitcoin is supposed to be decentralized. Its very core idea (pardon the pun) is that no individual or group controls it. That and that it changes as little as possible, which is what makes it good money.

The choices of individual network participants is what makes it tick, tock, next block. What hardware to buy, what software to run, what books to read, where and when to spend it, if ever.

It was always a binary bet. Either it fails, or we enter hyperbitcoinization.

If that is not what you hope and believe that this will inevitably lead to, you're missing the point.

This is a global revolution, not a gimmick. And the only ones that can keep it that way are you and me. If we can reliably say that it's captured by one or a few entities, it's game over. There is no point anymore.

We're here to protect it from the throngs of people that are playing different games. Fiat minded larpers who exited too early, were scammers all along, or were to inpatient and lacked the conviction to wait for N to g the f**k U.

How each individual chooses to do that is, of course, up to them. But we are the nights watch, guarding the great wall of blocks immortalized in cryptographic amber.

Choose wisely. Do your part. Don't let fear dictate your actions.

Team America perfectly described the current conflict in Bitcoin:

See, there are three kinds of people: d**ks, p**sies, and a-holes. P**sies think everyone can get along, and d**ks just want to f all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your a-holes. And all the a-holes want is to shit all over everything. So p**sies may get mad at d**ks once in a while, because p**sies get f**ked by d**ks. But d**ks also f a-holes! And if they didn't f the a-holes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your d**k and your p**sy all covered in shit!

We, the plebs, are d**ks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid d**s. And the developers are p**sies. And the spammers are a-holes. P**sies don't like d**ks, because p**sies get f**ked by d**ks. But dicks also fuck a-sholes. A-holes who just want to shit on everything. P**sies may think they can deal with a-holes their way. But the only thing that can f an a-hole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with d**ks is that sometimes they f too much or f when it isn't appropriate — and it takes a p**sy to show them that. But sometimes, p**sies get so full of shit that they become a-holes themselves... because p**sies are only an inch and a half away from a-holes. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us f these a-holes, we're going to have our d**ks and p**sies all covered in shit!

Paper Bitcoin did.

Morning poetry:

The taxman cometh and kindly asketh: "it puts the lotion in the basket!"

The bankster cometh and chimeth in, "it puts the lotion on it's skin!"
