Over the years in bitcoin I’ve seen a lot of rebuttals and alternatives proposed to bitcoin; some philosophical some sociopolitical. Many of these are well articulated, others verge on a utopian ideal.
But these theses, having been nailed to the door, whither away in the rain of the timeline feed instead of igniting a movement they were hoping to sow.
Their messages do not inspire, they do not compel, they do not make me willing to sacrifice for their them.
Their anger is thin, inauthentic and fails to inspire, or their utopia is theirs, and not mine.
Words, I feel these days, are mere ornaments for us to decorate our morality. This post, in fact, is exemplary of this sentiment.
However, I remain encouraged, motivated and inspired by that something new, something whose promises are laid bare but whose outcomes are up to us. So, of course, I remind you of what we signed up for - the understanding that sentiment should not be dictated by price. You are the node, the miner, the holdr, YOU are the sentiment, so let it be dictated by your support of the network and its users not price action.
This is supposed to be hard. Words and posts are easy. Courage is hard, seeking to inspire is hard, leading with kindness rather than vitriol is hard. But I have never met a group of people that I’d rather sacrifice my time, safety, and comfort for than Bitcoiners. 2026 - WE CAN change the sentiment 🧡
