I think the people arguing that bitcoin is captured and has failed are delusional and do not live in the real world As hard as it is we just need to be patient and keep pushing forward. Educate people about what is going on and fight for our rights to transact outside of state control. Keep the on and off ramps to privacy oriented solutions like monero and 2nd layer networks open. Also need to ensure we have alternate implementations of bitcoin so we avoid the core/knots/bip110 bullshit moving forward
