Bitcoiners keep telling plebs:
“Opt out.”
Meanwhile Wall Street packaged Bitcoin.
Banks got permission to custody it.
The IRS got the forms.
The U.S. government built a Bitcoin reserve.
Corporations stacked hundreds of thousands of BTC.
Mining coordination concentrated.
Crypto PACs poured money into politics.
And somehow I’m supposed to believe the old power structure just wanders off into the woods and dies?
NAH
The protocol can be decentralized while POWER piles right back up around it.
That is the fucking point.
I am not saying Bitcoin fails.
I am saying institutions are not stupid.
They do not need to destroy Bitcoin.
They can own the gates.
Custody.
Capital.
Access.
Politics.
Infrastructure.
That is how power survives revolutions.
It learns the new language.
So spare me the fairy tale that Bitcoin automatically saves the plebs.
The question is not:
“Will Bitcoin win?”
The question is:
WHEN BITCOIN WINS, WHO WINS WITH IT?
Because if ( when ) the same banks, funds, corporations, political machines, and billionaires end up controlling the easiest roads in and out…
Congratulations.
You built a new monetary highway.
And handed the toll booths to the same motherfuckers.
And if you need receipts 🧾, HONEY 🍯 CHILD : I have them.
