Good thoughts. Though, I think Satoshi would be proud to see how far Bitcoin has come. The point if it being decentralized means anyone can join along, and that includes traditional finance. I'm sure he understood that if it got big enough this would be inevitable, and maybe even necessary if we wanted it to become big enough.

This quest for bitcoin to make a profit is wonderful, it creates a funnel that makes people maximalists, most maximalists started out as shitcoinners

1° He wants to buy bitcoin and sell it to get rich

2° He thinks bitcoin is over and there are better ones, he buys monkeycoin (or any other shitcoin)

3° He lost everything

4° He sees that bitcoin always goes up in the long term

5° He studies bitcoin

6° Bitcoin was sent by God to save humanity.

The Elites highjacked it by turning a utility token into a damned investment. That put it beyond the affordability of the people it was meant to help.

I did manage to convince my 4 brothers to open BCH wallets and we now settle debts among ourselves with it. It’s fun, and we actually do it, i buy him a beer, he transfers BCH.

But with any friend who actually holds a lot of Bitcoin it’s failed, they are not antagonistic, they just say I’d rather not get into the details and just hold.

It’s ironic since most of them bought after i convinced them to.
