Perhaps I'm just old and cynical. I hope you're right.

Perhaps I am still in the last waning stages of the flower of optimistic youth, but I don't think *all* bitcoiners are quite so degraded yet. 

Many people here seem genuinely interested in figuring out how to use Bitcoin for a number of purposes (including making social media better). 

I posted some days ago about all the various groups around the world pushing Bitcoin development forward https://stacker.news/items/1551573, I don't know all of them personally, but the ones I have met struck me as sincere in their desire to increase the strength and usefulness of Bitcoin as freedom money.

Don't let the stupid Saylor boys and ETF heads convince you that everyone has sold out.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but coinos does not engage in the deceptive advertising that Spark does. Bitcoin doesn't need any more newbies getting rug pulled, particularly newbies who are told the wallet they are using is non custodial.

This whole conversation honestly feels to me like all of us shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

With ETFs and Saylor and banks holding bitcoin, bitcoin has bigger problems.

We'll all be paid handsomely to pretend "this is what adoption looks like." All anyone really gives a shit about is NGU.

"Non-custodial" means nothing if it is not used as such
