Bitcoin began with self-sovereignty, decentralization, and censorship-resistant freedom money. Now? The narrative has drifted—fixated on number-go-up charts, balance-sheet zombie companies, and Ethereum apologists cloaked in Bitcoin branding. If you want Freedom Money, passive hope won’t cut it. Bitcoin’s future is not guaranteed. Set your own mempool policies. Run a Knots node. Don’t outsource your sovereignty. Decentralized mining must be defended. Hoping MARA stays under 10% or trusting Foundry and Antpool with 51% is not a strategy—it’s surrender. Freedom isn’t preserved by spectators. If you sit by, Bitcoin will be captured. Don’t be a Cuckhold Nihilist.
