Bitcoin is the only truly decentralised protocol that treats all participants equally without fear or favour. There is no obvious alternative- if Bitcoin participants allow themselves to be lured into the digital gold narrative and the P2P payments potential of Bitcoin is lost then that is due to our lack of ability to comprehend, appreciate and ultimately fight for the freedom that Bitcoin makes possible. The freedom of P2P payments. The classic strategy of a cartel faced with a new competitor, if it cannot be outlawed, is to capture and control it- ETFs and the KYCed, tracked and traced, taxed speculative commodity narrative are that capture and control strategy in operation, in plain sight, Bitcoiners are only blind to it from of short sighted greed, naivety or laziness.
