Appreciate you engaging so thoughtfully, Jamesy. This isn’t the easiest topic to face up to, and I’ve found that the more I’ve dug into it, the more complex and uncomfortable the questions become.
I’ve been working quietly on a broader project that explores this in depth, looking at how power structures may be shifting around Bitcoin rather than away from it. Some of the early conclusions I’ve come to suggest time is the most underestimated variable. Or more precisely, the lack of it.
That leads to some uncomfortable end points, especially for those who aren’t paying attention, or who think Bitcoin’s adoption will automatically preserve its ethos.
We need more conversations like this, open, grounded, and forward-looking.
Because you’re right: we are at an inflection point, and the decisions made now (or not made) could define the architecture of the next monetary era.
Thank you again for engaging, I take great value from your viewpoint 👊🏻
