First and foremost, this is no bullshit clickbait, here's my NFA

It's something made me thinking because long time ago, a friendly user of Stacker News named @DarthCoin made a comment pointing as follows:

When he/she made the comment in that time, I didn't realise. The original post was my concern because Lightning Network (and zapping) was working mostly custodial and my fear was legit but not rational. These days, between elections and international events, with CT divided in the views and perspectives of political happenings, I felt more lost than ever. And that’s when this message reached my understanding and my way of thinking. We, as a community, are trying to follow the same path as the politicians in power, dividing ourselves and trying to mark territories. Even when the debate over ordinals came up, we wanted to draw a line (that doesn’t exist) in a politician-like manner, not politically.

Force is an energy. Many bitcoiners (myself included) wanted to use only a part of our arsenal and forced both my body and those around me to follow that usage example. What if we were actually wrong? What if those forces we considered toxic could be used for our benefit? That’s where it all makes sense. In these recent international political events, we tried to put up a moral barrier only to unnecessarily climb to the top of the building.

We need to welcome everyone. Today, Bitcoin needs all available forces, which is where I understood the above-mentioned idea. It doesn’t mean taking sides but using to our benefit what nature itself has already given us. The events that we don’t control, we won’t because the world is too big and with each passing day, there will be more and more openness internationally. Do we want to tell those joining us, “Hey, use non-custodial, no-KYC bitcoins, set up a node”, or do we want to say, “Just use bitcoins” and that’s it?

Force is neither good nor bad. It’s about how we execute and use it. When your enemy introduces bitcoins into the nervous system of the global financial scheme, you don’t interrupt them. You thank them, support them, and cheer for their wisdom. Yes, it’s true that they don’t care about Bitcoin, so what? Many don’t care and yet, unknowingly, they need bitcoins in their lives.

It took me more than 300 days to understand this. Thanks, Darth¹.
