Bitcoin was born from distrust, not blind faith.
The moment we start appealing to authority instead of verifying for ourselves, we’ve already lost the plot.
Bitcoin doesn’t need believers.
It needs skeptics.
It needs node runners.
It needs people willing to question, debate, and defend the protocol’s core principales, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Centralized thinking is the virus.
Decentralized conviction is the immune system.
If we ever stop challenging power, even inside Bitcoin,
then yes, that’s the real death sentence.
Don’t trust. Verify.
Don’t worship.
Contribute.
Don’t comply.
Defend the ethos.
That’s how we separate money from the state.
