There is no need to give up so easily. Each of us likely has abilities to put our coins into private placement and also to figure out networks to transact directly with others rather than giving in to having to have our transactions channeled.
You got me. I was kind of seeing the future as bleak.
It seems like the government are slowly influencing what people perceive Bitcoin as
Though not as an enemy but as an asset that grows like Gold
Hence why they push the narratives of bitcoin been digital gold.
I'm not surprised about this and even consider it smart but many don't even know or care why Bitcoin is Bitcoin.
I'm not against ETF and the opportunities it brought but I think it opened the government eyes to a way.
