I’m happy that I’m not the only one feeling this way.

Some people tell me that I’m just a nerd who can’t enjoy winning. But there’s so much that I wish Bitcoin could do and I feel like the window of opportunity to add upgrades is narrowing down.

I didn’t come here for banks, large custodians and politicians. I came to escape them, now I find it hard to accept that they want to be friends.

Maybe it happened too fast and we all thought we had more time. But I wish Bitcoin had better privacy to be a fungible currency. I also wish we had proper sidechains/extension blocks.

But the biggest problem is that there are too many voices that downplay this conversation and reject any improvement proposal like it’s an attack.

Now that I mentioned all this, I totally understand why you don’t want to speak publicly… there is so much negative stuff that can come out of it. It’s nice when you have a body of work that’s publicly visible and speaks for itself. But it sucks when other people tell your story and manipulate the narrative to paint you as whatever kind of character they find convenient in the context.
