Yea, but the "Creature from Jekyll Island" is always watching the open source community, and ensuring they don't do anything that goes "too far".
We're being corralled. Given just enough illusion of freedom that we can't tell that we don't have any freedoms at all.

Fiat is still alive and thriving, more than 15 years after Satoshi tried to change the world. Bitcoin is not threatening it in any serious way. 99% of it is still traded in a KYC manner, and merchant adoption is not seriously growing.
Sure, it takes time. But the trajectory is not going in the right direction anymore. Bitcoin is failing, imo. It's taken me a very long time to come to this conclusion.
"The Creature" cares about two things more than anything:
- KYC cannot be threatened.
- Money printer cannot be threatened.
RoboSats should be handling magnitudes more trading volume by now. But it's not, because Bitcoin is failing.
Bitcoin started out as a threat to both of these. But it appears to not be threatening them much. It still threatens #2 somewhat.... but there are levels of survival they are willing to accept.

More doomerism please.
Or. Be the change you want to see.
Live your best life, become a leader, explain to those around you how bitcoin has helped you and given hope and security for your future. Start a real world community, make new connections.
As time passes and your life will get better, people will become more curious to how you did it and more open to hearing about bitcoin.
This at least has been my experience.
