648 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby 17 Mar \ on: I'm losing my faith (II) bitcoin
My suggestion. Use bitcoin the way that suits and benefits you and ignore all the noise. If you don't like the fawning over Saylor and politicians that say they are pro bitcoin, I get it. Ignore it. Do your own thing. Maybe you are into grassroots adoption or bitcoin integration in platforms like SN. Focus on the stuff that you find rewarding.
I saw this morning on twitter Fred Krueger talking about how he is using shapeshift to use his BTC as collateral to get more BTC and I am thinking "what's wrong with these people, why will they never learn" but what are you going to do? I think we are well beyond the point where everyone holding/using/interacting with bitcoin is going to be ideologically aligned with us.

It just means adoption is happening.
If everyone using Bitcoin were aligned with my own views, it would mean I'm the only one using Bitcoin and that would be very worrying.

Spot on.
As adoption happens, Bitcoin will evolve to mean so many different things to so many different people.
Which is a good thing.
In the end, if Bitcoin wins, humanity wins. Because unlike fiat, nobody and no organization can claim ownership of the network.

Yeah, I try to ignore everything. And also I'm a libertarian/anarchist, so if you want to buy Dogecoin because you like it, then go ahead!!
But I always try to be rational, and I cannot look to another place when I see people behaving in unrational ways...
But yes, I'll try. Again.

The sats are likely to flow into more sturdy and ideologically aligned hands in the end.
