Beautifully put: learning through real risk is growth. Avoiding it only perpetuates a system already collapsing under its own weight.

Thanks for this insight . I agree that custodial services can be a bridge, but that’s the paradox: many never cross that bridge. They stay in the comfort of custody and never reach real sovereignty.

That difference is what will define who is truly inside and who, deep down, will remain an outsider.

Thanks! Coming soon

Exactly, and that’s the key: if the technical side remains only for a few, real accessibility is broken. People need understandable tools without losing Bitcoin’s essence

Exactly: it’s not a panacea. But it doesn’t need to be. Being far better than the fiat scam is enough to change everything.

Exactly. Fiat doesn’t dominate on merit, but because alternatives were banned or confiscated. A monopoly isn’t a backbone, it’s a cage

Calling fiat the backbone of the economy is like saying tobacco is the backbone of nicotine. What exists is dependency, not virtue. Bitcoin doesn’t need its executioner to make sense.

Exactly, every step toward simpler and more sovereign routes matters. You don’t need to be a developer to contribute: using, learning, and sharing knowledge about P2P or Lightning is already part of the solution. Resistance isn’t built only with code, but also with people who decide to step away from the domesticated version the system tries to impose.

It’s true that the technological and mental load is a real barrier, and that most people will choose the comfortable route if it’s available. That’s why the key is for parallel routes to become simpler and more accessible, without losing sovereignty. Adaptation doesn’t always come from interest — many times it comes from necessity… and necessity arrives when the “comfortable” solutions stop being comfortable. That’s when Bitcoin and those who use it in a sovereign way can make the difference.

You’re right that governments and banks are pushing the narrative of Bitcoin as a speculative asset and placing obstacles in the way of its use as a medium of exchange. But that doesn’t change Bitcoin’s nature: its base layer remains censorship-resistant and usable without permission. The real challenge is for more people to learn and use those parallel routes. In the end, this is the real process of selection: those who adapt to operate outside the framework the system tries to impose will continue to have sovereign money. The rest will be limited to the domesticated version the system offers them.
