I get your stance, and I respect it. But this isn’t just about a scarcity meme—it’s about the signal we, as a community, send. Wallet developers take cues from culture. If we stand firm—“if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”—this won’t gain traction. But if voices like Jack Dorsey and others with massive followings normalize this shift, devs will start experimenting.
Then we’ll end up with fractured UX—wallets showing different numbers, people unsure how much bitcoin they actually hold, confusion rippling through new users and media. That’s not a UI improvement. That’s chaos.
And what’s most alarming is that this doesn’t feel organic—it feels like an organized psyop. We’ve all seen how topics are engineered to go viral. This isn’t a joke or a harmless debate. It’s coordinated. It’s serious. And it’s dangerous.
One of the loudest voices pushing this has over 6 million followers on X, and owns a company building Bitcoin wallets/ Bitkey/—hardware, mobile, and recovery tools. So yes—he can push this into production. And if we stay silent, others will follow.
We stop it now—or we sort through the confusion later. At scale.
