Bitcoin doesn’t need you. But maybe—just maybe—you need Bitcoin.
Every cycle, new people show up thinking they’ve discovered something revolutionary—whether it’s questioning Bitcoin’s energy use, proposing faster payment layers, or trying to “fix” volatility. But every idea you’ve had about Bitcoin… has already been debated, attacked, memed, improved, or discarded years ago. The Bitcoin rabbit hole is deep, and it’s been dug for over 15 years by some of the most paranoid, visionary, and relentless minds on the planet.
Bitcoin isn’t some niche internet plaything anymore. It’s now held on balance sheets, integrated into national energy grids, and embedded in the financial strategies of countries and corporations alike. And yet, most people still ignore it—until they can’t.
How long can you ignore a monetary network that’s eating inflation, resisting censorship, and refusing to die?
Bitcoin doesn’t wait. It doesn’t care if you “believe” in it. It just keeps producing blocks every 10 minutes, no matter what. The longer you delay engaging with it, the more ground you lose—not just financially, but intellectually. Because by the time you show up with your “fresh” take, there’s already a thousand-page thread archived on Bitcointalk dismantling it.
