"I don't think by default [Bitcoin] is going to fix much, especially if it continues the path we're on now, in which I feel like people's focus has turned entirely towards adoption by large financial institutions, rather than the fundamental promise that it offers. We need to be self-critical if we're to actually get anywhere." - Ahmed What are your thoughts on adoption by large institutions, ETFs, etc?

"The more people that use and adopt #Bitcoin, the more useful as a tool it is for everyone...to say that #Bitcoin is a libertairian, Austrian economic project is insanity. Bitcoin is just money, an alternative to fiat money that works." - @erik More and more ideologies will continue to come into and interact with Bitcoin as the tent expands. Bitcoin is for anyone and everyone and does not belong to one ideological camp.
