I get where you’re coming from. A lot of early Bitcoiners valued censorship‑resistance, self‑custody, and strong on‑chain privacy. Over time, BTC’s center of gravity shifted toward “digital gold,” institution adoption, KYC rails, and a scaling path (LN) that, while clever, feels custodial/centralizing in practice for many users. If you believe that’s a drift from the cypherpunk ethos, rotating to privacy coins can feel like the only way to vote with your feet.
