A lot of people on this forum actively tried to undermine Bitcoin's future success by promoting trusted custodians. We must never forfeit the pillars that hold up the system.
On the other hand, it's up to the people to decide whether forfeiting their custody is worth the gain. I wouldn't have any problem with someone who promoted Cashu, as an example.
I would have problem with petty trolls who try to to control what other people can and cannot do with their coins, though.
I see a problem with attempts at centralization by big fish like the SEC, Blackrock, feds, etc...
I'm quite neutral with that big fish. The most they can do is manipulate the price. They cannot manipulate the protocol. Stock market manipulation is a consequence of human nature.
One of the reasons why I have spoken out against the ongoing Ordinals Attack has been this. The community that is the "building blocks" of Bitcoin needs to step up and yet nobody has done anything meaningful to stop the longest and largest spam attack in Bitcoin history yet...
Hard to swallow pill: The only truly effective DDoS defense mechanism is the block size limit. Any other method of protecting yourself from spam is fundamentally flawed.
