A very great and refreshing read. Thank you for taking the time to write it and to share your thoughts.
I too see and feel as you do. That's why I remain on the side and do not participate much in the space. Almost as if not to let myself stray from the path and stay as "pure" as possible.
A lot of the popular and prevailing mindsets are precisely the thing that repels newcomers from wanting to adopt and take up bitcoin. It is like drinking from a firehose and those who do not think in the same way or say the popular phrases are not loyal or committed to the cause. I dislike how it can only be a binary outcome, either: with us or against, with no room to explore, innovate or see the areas in between. It has become the divisive nature of what we see in a lot of modern politics. The reality is bitcoin can be political, technological, philosophical and also none of those things. It can be whatever people see through their lens of life. To categorize it and only define it in a certain way limits the reach and potential it can achieve.
Celebrating wins before anything has been won is a strange view even if it is a meme. The path to victory isn't certain and it a long and testing trial.
🤙🧡💜
