The sentiment is the following: - mempool is empty, miners won't be able to secure the network in the long run - lightning does not really work nor scale, so custodial solutions are emerging against the ethos of Bitcoin - quantum could hit at any time, disrupting everything, and nobody is ready - institutional capture is under way (Saylor, ETFs), turning Bitcoin into a fiat asset basically that poses a threat to nobody - knots/core drama, Luke is going to fork Bitcoin - Bitcoin is not private and somehow this was discovered recently, or became very much a problem only recently. Coinjoin won't help you because tainted coins are, well, tainted, hence no fungibility - stablecoins are basically CBDCs and for whatever reason people thought that the trump admin was going to usher in a new era for Bitcoin Anything else I might have forgotten?
