I fear we are going into a direction where one day (if not even now) we'll be hostage of these big players overtaking the community ideals despite any decentralization.
These people are here to make money. They care zero about africans or privacy and they can dictate where the network has to go.
These people are not with us.
They are against us.
We are not the same.
What do you think about?
Are you concern about Bitcoin in Africa or the west trying to centralized Bitcoin? I thought going mainstream was what everyone wanted, everyone loves to see Bitcoin going to $1m, do you think that money to print that value was going to come from retailers like you and I? Obviously no, it will have to come from institutional investors and they don't come to spray you any money, every billion they are spending today, they will make sure they make 10x of what is been invesed.
Micheal Saylor is a business guy and has stood on business buying Bitcoin right from $12k and still buying even at $100k, you really expect him to say Bitcoin is for the poor? No, he will maximize the potential of Bitcoin as high as possible so that they can sell what is been invested in the future, that's there plan and that's what business is all about. I'm sorry but decentralization that I have seen many debate here is now history, people don't even care about that anymore, just the bag that's all.
