2025 was a year where it felt like many of the Bitcoin eugoogleyists had given up, and some even come round a little. This gave me a somewhat nervous, sick feeling in stomach. Afterall, the only thing Bitcoin has to offer is censorship resistance. If the suits have come to like it, it makes me worry I've misunderstood something.

So, imagine my relief upon seeing tweets like these today:

We have once again returned to mocking of Bitcoin. I eagerly await their pronouncements on the terminal nature of Bitcoin's trajectory. I am making popcorn for the next ripple-funded Greenpeace campaign.

Seems silly to wait for them to do it... just look at price as validation of the idea/thesis. We are not winning

depends on how you define winning. 2025 was the first year I got paid in bitcoin by an employer. I use lightning daily. I can send sats to anyone on earth who generates an address. I can buy a few more things with bitcoin than I could in years past. I'm paying for a few things regularly with sats now.

I'd be disingenuous if I said the dollar exchange rate didn't matter at all, but it matters about as much as it mattered 6 months ago when it was at $120k (a price I considered unbelievably low for 100 million magical internet money units).
