The White Paper was very specific in what Bitcoins purpose is- primarily a censorship resistant P2P payments protocol. That primary payments purpose was backed up by a 'hard money' strictly limited issuance never totaling more than 21 million Bitcoins, which protects holders from debasement and thus enables saving.

However the legacy fiat powers have observed this new money and responded slyly - at least in liberal western democracies not imposing an outright ban, which would result in an underground Bitcoin market that would be hard to control, but rather allowing limited CEXes and imposing KYC to enable tracking and tracing of ownership and use.

Secondly they have designated Bitcoin as a commodity- in direct defiance of the white papers very clear description of Bitcoin as a P2P payments system. By arbitrarily designating Bitcoin as a commodity it has been captured by tax obligations which make use of Bitcoin as a P2P payments protocol effectively impractical for anyone wishing to remain within the law. This has resulted in MoE use of Bitcoin being hugely obstructed and use of Bitcoin as a speculative commodity becoming by far the predominant use and perception. This has in turn evolved into ETFs and increasing institutional custody, which even further erodes the potential for P2P payments.

The subtle but relentless and progressive capture and control how Bitcoin is used prepares the protocol for an effective shutting down of Bitcoin as a P2P payments protocol. When institutional custody and KYC tracking has captured the greater majority of Bitcoin held then an Order 6102฿ would be most effective. They do not have to gain custody of all Bitcoin, but by gaining the majority it would be effectively captured and controlled.

So the development of Bitcoin is being steered away from its primary founding purpose and moved toward a model where it can be captured and controlled. The need is for pressure upon elected representatives to remove the obstruction of Bitcoin for MoW payments. The need now is for users to demand and apply their right to use Bitcoin as a P2P payments protocol.

This requires Bitcoin hodlers to become users of the protocol for both of its original intended purposes not just as a SoV but also as a MoE payments.

If we do not demand and apply use of Bitcoin as a payments protocol it is endangered and there is no apparent mechanism via any change to the protocol internally that can remedy that. It is a case of requiring Bitcoiners to understand and respond to the attack that is being mounted by legacy fiat monopolists- the banks and governments.
