Best note I saw today 🔥

" #Bitcoin doesn’t win by being big. It wins by staying sovereign. Adoption is easy to cheer for. Freedom is harder to defend. "

Everyone’s cheering for nation-state adoption.
𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿.

When Bitcoin becomes a reserve asset, three things happen fast:
→ More legitimacy
→ Institutional demand
→ Massive on-ramping of capital

But here’s the part most don’t talk about ↓

With reserve asset status comes regulation.

Serious regulation.
The kind that makes self-custody harder.

You’ll hear the usual lines:
“National #security.”
“Systemic risk controls.”
“Anti-money laundering.”

And before you know it:
→ Self-custody is “dangerous”
→ Custodial KYC becomes “best practice”
→ Ownership shifts from individuals to institutions

That’s the trade-off.

More #adoption ≠ more #freedom.

Not unless we fight to protect the core of what makes Bitcoin valuable:

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Yes, reserve asset status is a milestone.

But #Bitcoin doesn’t win by being big. It wins by staying sovereign.

Adoption is easy to cheer for.
Freedom is harder to defend.

Let’s not confuse the two #Nostr.
