Light, cave or water?
Fairy tales, mythology and religions speak often about heavy, big and toxic monsters living in the darkness of caves, underworld and oceans.
But we know very little about monsters living in the Light.
There's this completely unfounded cypherpunk nostalgia (*) among some bitcoiners.
(*) Nostalgia: we had a glorious past full of ideals and now the present is corrupt, we have relaxed on the ideals, we wish we went back to the good old times
I think it's completely unfounded. We could not even imagine in our wildest dreams that we would arrive at the current moment. We had crampy slow mixmasters, command line encryption that no one used and fiat in envelopes and later centralized electronic gold custodians.
You say that there are some services that require KYC, got corrupt by VCs and compliant, not really punk. That is true, but also these corrupted services did not exist at all in the before times you are so nostalgic about.
Do we have more options or less? Definitely more. We are participating in an open decentralized project that emerged into sixth largest reserve currency in the world. And we are only beginning.
Pissed about grandmas with ETFs? Even if you remove them, we are more than 1000x of what anyone expected. We thought we are going to be fringe like the 0.001% PGP users.
We don't need everyone to be cypherpunk. Let others do what they want, we're already winning our game. Their game? Not playing, sorry, too boring.
