Financial advice- Stacker News is a circle jerking echo chamber.

Was I early in 2017? Not really.

It was simply the first time I'd heard about it.

Will Bitcoin ever being used widely as a P2P payments protocol?

Unlikely, its been captured and controlled as a KYCed and taxed speculative commodity.

That’s the part most people don’t want to admit.

A lot of us weren’t “early” , we were just introduced at different times.

And yeah, Bitcoin becoming a regulated speculative asset definitely changed the original vision.

But I also think censorship resistance only matters after people need it. Most people optimise for convenience first… principles later.
