It's a great thing, the rotation from amateur to professional investors reflecting maturity.

Severed Fingers and ‘Wrench Attacks’ Rattle the Crypto Elite.

 

As bitcoin soars, investors and executives are taking their swollen digital wallets offline for safety. Criminals are coming after them, violently.

From a historical perspective, aside from the branded “freedom for the plebs”, sovereignty was never meant for everyone.

 

Freedom is often just an excuse to entrench power in a new aristocracy, which typically uses semantics to spread the meme, rethorical weapons.

 

From a technical perspective, nothing has really changed, mining centralization remains something to monitor, even if many solutions are emerging at the protocol level.

The main reason is emotional instability—an outcome of an unhealthy lifestyle.

 

Bitcoin is the easiest asset to hold in history, designed to redistribute wealth. It's as simple as a religion, where the only sermon is: “HODL and stack sats".

The only individuals who will hate the bitcoin rally more than value investors will be the shitcoin gamblers and those who sold bitcoin early.
