The movement that's really under pressure here is opting out. The illusion of mainstream adoption, fueled by narratives ranging from Bitcoin Countries to ETFs to SBRs, even if successful, distracts from what we - or at least I, over a decade ago - set out to do: become independent.

The movement does not have to fail though, because once you're bored with all the "Crypto Ball" events, listening to Jamie Dimon's takes and buying yet another Little Hodler or Salvadorean coffee, you can simply focus on what matters: taking control of your own life.
