The classic "Bitcoin failed because people don't use it the way I want" argument.
Brother, Bitcoin didn't promise to make you coffee or teach you how to use Linux. It promised freedom, and freedom includes people choosing convenience if they want.
KYC? Yes, the system tries to get its claws in, as always. But the code is still there, free, resilient, running 24/7—nothing has changed.
It's not Bitcoin's fault that most people prefer convenience over sovereignty.
So no, Bitcoin didn't fail.
It just proved that the biggest enemy of freedom isn't the system... it's laziness.
