Couldn't have said it better.
I don't care about El Salvador.
I don't care about Central African Republic.
I care about people learning about and actually using Bitcoin.
We don't need the government to do anything other than get the hell out of the way. They won't do it when we ask nicely. Bitcoin is our opportunity to take their power to have a say in it away.
I don't see it as a negative if some governments make it legal tender, but I don't see it as some great thing to celebrate either.

Absolutely, it's a grassroots movement, people who celebrate this stuff are either statists, or bag pumpers, or influencers.
It never needed legalisation, if anything its bad for bitcoin as it lulls those citizens into a false sense of security and using their sats custodially
It's also dangerous to align yourself with people like El Salvador and CARs administration, who have some dirty secrets. I personally couldn't care less, I;m here to stack for myself

Totally agree.
They need Bitcoin; not the other way around.
