Hi all!
Am I the only one who feels the current Bitcoin/Crypto climate is going to shit? When I got into Bitcoin in 2013, this was the true new wild west so to speak. So what happend in the last 5-6 years?
Governments are trying to take back control with regulations and taxes.
Exchanges requiring ID (KYC) etc. (hahahahaha fail)
Developers are requested to make themselves public
Previously rather unknown people. but with success in crypto, are for some reason seen as some sort of "Messiah" (binance dev for example)
etc.
etc.
etc.
So why the hell.... Do we (community) go along with all that crap?
And IMHO, if you are happy with the current climate, you should not be in crypto at all!
Or have I smoked one too many? This is not what Satoshi wanted/meant when he created Bitcoin right?
Have a good one,
Towelie
It was inevitable, once you release something to the public you no longer decide what it will become, at the beginning most of those that adopted bitcoin did so because they believed in the ideals that represented and they opposed any kind of attempt to try to regulate it, but as bitcoin has become more popular those people have become a minority and the focus is now on how to make money that fastest and if that means accepting all of those things that go against bitcoin and its ideals many people are willing to accept it.
