If Wall Street Kills Bitcoin, It Was Never Bitcoin

[00:00:00]I mean, my one-word answer to that's no.

[00:00:02]If Wall Street getting into Bitcoin kills it, it was never going to be successful in the first place.

[00:00:07]>> Yeah. You know, Bitcoin's, in my opinion, is predicated on this idea that it is money for all. And the all part should be explored. Uh that means your enemies, too. That means, you know, the ex-wife that cheated on you. That means your neighbor that's a fan of the opposing football club. Like, that's everybody. That means nation-states that are your enemies, nation-states you're at war with. That means for all. And and the philosophical idea for me is that, you know, money is property. Uh and is a fundamental right. Again, it's your time and energy in an abstracted form. And if that responsibility is ever delegated to a person or a government or a company, they can debase the money, they can debase you. And and so, I think that that needs to be an independent property that has property rights. And and so, yeah, anyone should be able to get into Bitcoin, and Bitcoin should succeed no matter their intentions or their usage. And if that's not the case, then we built and designed a product that is flawed. And so, I don't believe that to be the case. And I believe that Iran and Russia and China and the United States and Wall Street and Cypherpunks can all use this thing and work on this thing, and it's going to succeed no matter what.
