bitcoin people today are saying that adoption is more important than self-sovereignty or privacy. corrupt bitcoin developers have promoted a design that pushes users into something called a custodial lightning wallet. it may be more user friendly and have low fees but it's not different from a bank, where you don't own your own money. the bitcoin people are not treating this like an emergency. they have lost the plot and bitcoin is basically neutralized, unable to deliver self-sovereignty to large numbers of people due to an intentionally broken design. the userbase is being paid to not care. it's like the kid who sold out his family for a plate of turkish delight. it's also like scientology, where new users are being shielded from any information about why this happened. self-sovereignty is prohibitively expensive on purpose, but here is a shiny custodial lighting wallet. eat your cum like the rest of us and stop complaining. then these people work very hard to be the public face of digital assets. they go in the media and say "we are set apart. don't look at other projects. they are scams."
