You have to give it to the bitcoin hardliners. Asinine and hypocritical as the “@nic_carter’s concerns are invalid because he invested in an idea he believes in” take is, you have to remember Bitcoin’s entire existence is as a hedge. Portable gold with more torque in risk-on. The Bitcoin crowd has a naturally conspiratorial view on central banks, govs institutions, and a tendency to see everything as attempts to co-opt the asset and belief system. That (at times brainlet) stance is what makes Bitcoin interesting and borderline Lindy and the lack thereof in most of crypto land was the reason most of the movement was co-opted and turned into centralized neo-banks, memecoin casinos, and corporate RWAs.(Jason Choi)
