It's disheartening to see so much Bitcoin discourse saying that institutional custodians are the safest way to store bitcoin, but then again I already knew that most people are lazy statist cucks with little appreciation for privacy and freedom.

Where are the optimistic Bitcoiners? Is there anyone left actually optimistic about growing human freedom with software?

sounds like hyperbitcoinization is right around the corner
Baking an ad hominem into a self-custody argument undermines the technical merit. Institutional custody is a single point of failure. Your sovereignty is only as strong as your key management.
For you, Coretard, its just a database and you don't care if its filled with spam or csam or whatever. I know that. I am sure you don't know what money is and what freedom is.
I know that. It is attacked by disgusting Coretards but I am sure we will start filtering out that spam. Yes, we the Bitcoiners are intolerant of non-monetary spam.
When should I expect to be able to do that? I don't know guy. You tell me that Core forked off, but it looks like blake 2b does less, has less hash power, and currently has a WORSE monetary profile than whatever I'm using. All the places in town that accepted bitcoin before it allegedly forked off work fine with my wallet. The only thing you guys seemed to have added was an incredibly angsty ideological layer that makes you very miserable and difficult to get along with.
Bend the knee to your Big Spamcoin overlords. Enjoy the Jameson SLopp's Citrea centrally created out of thin air shitcoin, on top of Spamcoin. Beg the centralized SHA256 miners for mercy. And hope for the best. image
Nothing has changed about the way I use Bitcoin. I use it like money and savings. The introduction of these businesses and their services into the bitcoin ecosystem is entirely opt-in. If they ceased to exist, I could continue using bitcoin like I have before. They didn't take over anything. If (big if) blake2b enjoys any success, businesses like these would naturally appear at the margins and start using the technology in novel ways. And I'm sure that will whip some fundamentalist zealots into a frenzy, and they'll fall all over themselves to hit the reset button again and find themselves 10 years behind as a result.
