Bitcoin is an open and permissionless network. Like internet, email, or electricity.
Even if we wanted to, we can’t shut it off, change, or co-opt it on the base layer
To the network, an activist, criminal, or politician all look the same

And just so you know, over 50% of the world is unbanked, can’t participate in markets, or even vote for that matter.

“ZERO value to most folks”? Tell that to the billions who live under authoritarian regimes without any access to reliable banking or saving in a stable currency.

If you store your jewelry in a steel vault, it will take me physical time and energy to break through it.
Same if you store value in a long string of numbers. It would take massive time and energy to break.

Every 5 years or so, a new group of people are associated with this open network and it either helps or harms the narrative.
If Trumps advocated using Internet and email (which are also open protocols like Bitcoin), would you stop using those too?
2009: “It’s just a collectable for nerds”
2010: “It’s only used by drug dealers”
2013: “It’s only used by terrorists”
2017: “It’s only used by gamblers looking to make a quick buck”
2023: “It’s only used by greedy rich people/Trump destroying the environment”
