Happy to see your post, thank you GazetaBitcoin,

Some still remember...
...
Was our Bitcoin completely surrounded and overwhelmed only by those which are greedy and see inside it only a way to get rich? Is our Bitcoin only another way for CEX owners to fill their pockets? Doesn't anyone remember its libertarian principles...?


Yes
No
Yes

I also read Atlas Shrugged many years ago, and have never fully recovered from the experience.   Cheesy
Yes: I've studied many of the old threads, and this forum was overwhelmed with greed in the summer of 2011, the first big BTC bull market.
No: Bitcoin only another way for CEX owners to fill their pockets, the future is still bright, in some ways.
Yes: Many do remember its libertarian principles, many of the old-timers probably hang out on Reddit, for example, because they don't like it here anymore, or do not want to be seen around BCT as a "wealthy early participant."

On the bright side, participating in this community can still teach people about decentralization, some degree of freedom, etc. even if it is not obviously Libertarian.
