Whether you like Elon or not, you must give him credit for buying Twitter and possibly changing the trajectory of history by keeping free speech alive.
Some would look at it as a victory, but I’d rather look at it as a strong lesson/warning for Bitcoin, of what to AVOID.
We don’t want things to get so bad that the whole thing comes down to depending on the act of one single individual to survive.
The (naive) architecture of the Internet allowed information to be centralized and censored. It’s not a victory, it’s a walking disaster. Even if Elon can temporarily protect free speech, how long can it last?
All efforts must ensure Bitcoin remains as decentralized as possible.

quoting note1lgj…7zq8When the Internet was invented, everyone thought it would democratize knowledge. Fast forward 30 years, it got so incredibly centralized and censored that it took one man buying Twitter to (hopefully) save it from itself.
What’s the equivalent of that threat in Bitcoin?
