The recent events surrounding Bitcoin have genuinely shaken me.
Every time I read the discussions here, I find myself becoming a little more worried about what the future of Bitcoin might look like.
For people like me-living in a country with high inflation, a severely devalued currency, war, sanctions, internet shutdowns, and countless other hardships that are difficult to imagine from a more stable part of the world- Bitcoin is more than just an asset.
It is a glimmer of hope.
Amid all the political noise, power struggles, and endless battles for control, our world needs more white-hat hackers. More developers and programmers who choose the collective good over personal gain. People who use their knowledge and skills not to accumulate more power, but to build something that gives ordinary people a little more freedom and resilience.
And yet, beneath all these worries, something still keeps me hopeful about Bitcoin's future.
Maybe it's the people who continue building.
Maybe it's the idea itself.
Or maybe it's the belief that, despite everything happening around us, something decentralized and open can still give people like us a chance to have a little more control over our own future.

It's posts like yours that remind me why this whole experiment is still worth fighting for, even when it gets messy.
As long as Monero exists, don’t lose hope!
When the world is losing hope, we must fight to keep it alive.

You need to be following @₿itcoin Makueni 🇰🇪 🫂🧡
Let me point your attention to something optimistic I saw in the last couple of days:
- Thursday the exploit is discovered by Block who is a competitor of Coinkite
- within hours #Bitcoin X explodes and the entire industry is rallying around the situation organizing triage for effected people, disregarding their own affiliations or personal pride, considering many recommended Coldcards before
- meanwhile every single bitcoin company is spending a fortune on AI tokens to harden their code base
- as of now the damage is brutal and the loss for many people is incomprehensible. It is still by orders of magnitude smaller than the centralized exchange failures in the past.
All of that happened in a decentralized way and was organized by people who simply cared about #Bitcoin and bitcoiners. This might be the beginning of the AI wars. We are in the trenches and there is no way to avoid it. We do have a fighting chance if we keep it together. After this weekend I am more convinced than ever that we will prevail.
All the best to you 🙏🏻
Beautiful words friend. 💜🫂
I’m optimistic because of the rapid, generous, and skilled voluntary assistance given by so many good people to help those harmed by criminals. Bitcoin remains and there will always be evil people among us. The good will not disappear but expand and grow even if slowly and with tragic setbacks along the way.
Monero
Because it has reduced attack vectors vs Bitcoin.

Less than .001% of bitcoin users lost value in this theft. Compared to 100% of the fiat system users that have value stolen. The Bitcoin network is still a very strong option to store your value. If you weren’t a direct victim, the network you have now is stronger than it was last week.
