This one is a bit long and technical, but it’s worth the read. Outlook is bad not because the dampened price action, but because the attempted capture (regulatory wise) and cultural shift that will try to put Bitcoin in the same category as gold, effectively castrating it (making it “safe” and useless from their perspective).
Pay attention and push back in whatever capacity you have: run Knots, spin up a BTCPay server, run a lightning node, get a BitAxe, use Bitcoin as money, not just savings. Get comfortable with the tech, even if you’re not technical person (I’m not).
Teach others to do the same privately without being annoying. If they can make moves in the shadows, so can we. Every action has an equal in force and opposite in direction reaction. Be the counter force.

I welcome you bringing Monero culture to Bitcoin.
I like the Monero culture, but not Monero itself.
Fair take.
For me it's not about liking. Monero is a necessity.
The culture and the tool are great. Trade offs are different to Bitcoin and as an early Bitcoiners I can understand why one would favour Bitcoin over Monero. But times are changing.
The new theme won't be about investment gains or increase in purchasing power, but limiting the theft that will inevitably happen through IOU and KYC. Bitcoin's transparency might become a liability in the near future.
