Vigilance is still necessary to maintain Bitcoin's status quo. Even though it's properties allow the vigilant to maintain a strong position with ease, if that ease results in relaxation, the ever persistent games of subversion (of the majority SHA256 hashrate chain). At present I would judge the current Bitcoin community at large to be decently vigilant with a major failing in being way to lax about ETFs and custodial Bitcoin that I believe stems from ignorance of the systemic risks they pose. This is typically an ebb and flow of newbies believing some nonsense that gets corrected by a slap in the face by a rugpull (a rugpull is a less concerning risk among the risks that custodial Bitcoin presents btw), but there is a growing corperate interest in propagandizing and maintaining this belief in growing a lax custodial Bitcoin userbase. The vigilance required here is with maintaining culture basically. It should be the case that people will all self custody eventually because Bitcoin is literally the easiest thing in existence to self custody in bulk, but only so long as it stays easy to self custody (another thing that requires vigilance. Wallet design that empowers users and even sensible soft fork discussion that achieves that end) View quoted note →
