Most people prefer the convenient lie. Maybe instead of worrying about making things easier for most people, we worry about making it a place that those who value freedom can thrive. Maybe the inconveniences of the protocol are a feature, not a bug. Freedom is proof of work, and those who truly value it will put in the work. When we lower that barrier by making things work easier, we start inviting people in who’s value don’t align with ours, then slowly but surely this thing we built as a tool for freedom becomes co-opted and morphs into the very thing we were fighting against. I don’t want to build for the normies, I want to build for the freemen.
