I’m a few years behind you, but came from cypherpunk material and think I can appreciate what you’re saying. I also have long fiat investment background. I agree with you. The central problem now is that “if” there is a new generation of Bitcoin Maxis, they realized the OGs are selling out. And since that selling is clearly going to Govt entities, they aren’t inspired that there’s any “Bitcoin Revolution” still being led by revolutionaries. In other words: “OGs” have left the building, conferences are cringe, “cypherpunk” isn’t front and center anymore, and Wall St has completely pwned price. We’re at a make or break year, right now. Gov’t will capsize Bitcoin in a year or so, guaranteed. Because they’ve overwhelmed “Retail” markets, and thereby underwhelmed “pleb” culture, thus rug-pulling self-custody, and all the while the original Bitcoiners have gone awol to sell their stacks to Bukele in El Salvador or Dubai or wherever. It’s hard to stay optimistic. Fiat has fully recognized the need to subsume Bitcoin into its system. And the sociopaths have all the time and all the money in the world to do so. We had a good run, but what I’m seeing is that the people who understood Bitcoin best are cut-and-running. Bitcoin is now a global asset, and that means it will perform as a portfolio savings-asset for the rest of Fiat’s life.
