Well written, thx.

Agreed

If Bitcoin’s mission is monetary sovereignty, the real test isn’t price. It’s whether ordinary people can still self-custody, transact freely, and opt out of intermediaries. Institutional adoption can grow without replacing that core. Bitcoin changes only if users stop defending the properties that made it valuable in the first place. 🟠

Invoke freedom a lot. Centrally defines which otherwise-valid transactions are ideologically acceptable 🤷

Separation of money and state was never a realistic idea. It gave people a sense of life purpose that is addictive and hard to let go off. Even if the new "bitcoin" should succeed (it won't), it would just be "captured" again anyway.

"Fast on standard hardware" means nothing. It's a cost issue. PoW -> Work -> Cost. Cost of production of money. Won't work.
