They confront the gap between cypherpunk slogans and what real humans actually do with hardware wallets. Institutions, ETFs, and custodial convenience enter like Spotify replacing torrents, cleaner UX, more capture. They challenge BIP-110, urgency politics, and the temptation to police “wrong” Bitcoin use. The thread throughout is sovereignty, incentives, and whether Bitcoin lasts 50, 500, or 5,000 years.</p>
