Many people are stuck in the mindset that they need politicians' permission to embrace Bitcoin or that they should worry about regulations being crafted on platforms outside of Bitcoin's network. The truth is, Bitcoin was designed to operate beyond the control of governments and institutions. No matter what laws or policies are constructed, they can only influence the centralized spaces. Bitcoin exists independently, outside the reach of political maneuvering, functioning on a decentralized network that no one can govern.

Politicians may try to shape rules around exchanges, custodians, or businesses, but they can't touch the Bitcoin protocol itself. It's time we stop waiting for permission from those who benefit from the status quo. Bitcoin gives us the power to opt out of a broken system, and the only approval we need is our own.
