I hear a lot of bitcoin influencers acting as if "we've won". Its honestly kinda pathetic. I think its mostly inexperience with the state. When there's an admin that isn't trying to throw you directly in jail it seems like wining. Its not. Trump is about Trump. Not bitcoin. He's surrounded by crypto bros and fiat maxis. He's a fiat maxi. It could be worse, don't get me wrong but bitcoin isn't gonna win by elections and politicians. It will win by adoption by plebs. Public acceptance is the path. The politicians will start claiming to be for it as Trump has. This is just to curry favor and get votes.
People get confused. They often think the government creates changes when many times it is just taking credit for things the people are doing already. Our everyday choices matter far more than we realize. Not saying government action means nothing. Just saying do not forget how much power people collectively have to affect change.
