I hear ya but it is the fiat hell scape we live in.
I think the cypher punk movement lost a lot of its luster when all the exchanges slapped KYC on everybody and let the IRS tax it.
Also all the fraudsters and scammers stealing from honest people and those people have no way to get their property back and send the scammers to justice.
Now we have ETFs STRC and all the fiat nonsense because of the failure of the cypherpunks
Cypherpunks have not failed.
Bitcoin was made and allowed to stay open-source so that the elites (parasites) can also have their own escape hatch.
They don’t want their fiat trillions to be taxed into oblivion to placate the struggling “useless” plebe masses being replaced by AI.
Bitcoin self-custody and privacy tools will be waiting for them.
Yeah they might be useful to protect yourself against Bitcoin’s exchange rate volatility.
Nobody’s perfect unless you have a massive bitcoin stack and you can afford to be 100% ideological with your actions.
But I often get a bit of an ick, a dirty feeling when I’m using USDC or USDT, like I’m doing something naughty..
