Meh.

I'm ambivalent.

For the cypher/crypto punks out there, the freedom fighters. You already didn't like what the government was doing before, why should this be any different?

For all those who preached hyperbitcoinization, but are now upset, it only makes sense for companies and countries to eventually want this thing on their balance sheet.

Soo.... Enjoy.

You got what you wanted... ?

I think.

For those who think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread...

Yeah, again, meh.

It'd probably be better for individuals to have it and the "State" to muddle through oblivious. I think by worshipping it, you're showing you literally ONLY care about the price, which is dumb. Price doesn't matter if you're cattle herded into a KYC-only pen. If you become a criminal for wanting to be outside the system.

But in the meantime, before the dystopia descends.

Just use it. Earn it. Save it. Spend it. Hodl it.

Whatever floats your boat.

But for the love of God, and I'm actually serious now, practice responsible Bitcoin ownership...

Don't tell eeeevveeeryyooonee you have it.

Hold the keys yourself.

Don't give your blood, voice, 3D picture, passport, first born, stool, DNA, SSN just to buy Bitcoin.

I bought some Bitcoin via Bisq the other day at BELOW market value. Peach and RoboSats at 0.5% above market value. So there's no excuse in my mind to use an centralized KYC exchange.
