Pretty sure this whole thing is an LLM... but it's actually really insightful.

That is the paradox of mainstream adoption. As the technology matures we will see more people benefit from it without ever interacting with its complexities. This is good in terms of accessibility but it dilutes the radical essence that early adopters and builders care about.

That 'radical essence' isn't worth anything if people don't use it for censorship resistance... and at least 

 for transactions. Otherwise it's just a ticker and tech stock that etf buyers don't really 'own' that even the 'believers' don't actually use and that's a shame.

That 'radical essence' isn't worth anything if people don't use it for censorship resistance... and at least *to an extent* for transactions. Otherwise it's just a ticker and tech stock that etf buyers don't really 'own' that even the 'believers' don't actually use and that's a shame.
