Setelah Ledakan FTX, Saatnya Berakhir BitcoinHubungan Disfungsional Dengan Crypto

Michael Saylor’s recent dysfunctional relationship comment perfectly summarizes the disconnect between bitcoin dan crypto.

Ini adalah editorial opini oleh Tim Niemeyer, a Bitcoiner since circa-2018 and co-host of the Lincolnland Bitcoin Pertemuan di Springfield, Illinois.

"Bitcoiners are trapped in a dysfunctional relationship with crypto and we want out!"- Michael saylor

Di tengah pembantaian para Drama FTX, momen kejelasan menerangi Twittersphere. Kata-kata Michael Saylor adalah sinyal dalam kebisingan yang dihasilkan dari kereta api disfungsional yang dikenal sebagai "crypto". Sebelum kita benar-benar menghargai wawasannya, pertama-tama kita harus merenungkan apa yang membuat hubungan ini tidak berfungsi atau, dalam konteks terapi pasangan, hubungan yang beracun.

Sementara banyak di industri cryptocurrency dengan senang hati menjalani hidup mereka melihat hubungan mereka dengan uang (kepercayaan, komitmen, dukungan, dll.) Secara positif, mereka mengabaikan tanda-tanda peringatan bahwa hubungan mereka sama sekali tidak sehat. Tentu, semua hubungan yang baik memiliki pasang surut. Ketidaksepakatan terjadi, tetapi secara keseluruhan Anda memiliki tujuan yang sama dan memercayai pihak lain untuk mengutamakan kepentingan Anda. Ada tingkat harapan tertentu bahwa pasangan Anda akan mendukung Anda, berkomunikasi secara terbuka dan jujur, dan tidak mengendalikan perilaku. Hidup dengan cara ini membebaskan dan Anda umumnya dapat berkembang.

Tetapi bagaimana jika satu pihak tidak mengutamakan kepentingan Anda? Bagaimana jika mereka tidak jujur? Bagaimana jika ada pola tidak hormat? Bagaimana jika mereka mengabaikan kebutuhan Anda? Tentu, Anda bisa mengharapkan perubahan, tetapi Anda masih merasa lelah, stres, cemas, atau depresi. Akhirnya, Anda ingin keluar. Kebutuhan Anda akan hubungan yang positif dan sehat mengalahkan kenyamanan hubungan yang Anda kenal saat ini. Langkah pertama adalah mengakui ada masalah. Mengakui tanda-tanda hubungan beracun itu perlu.

Tanda-Tanda Hubungan Beracun

In regards to our relationship with money, support may be displayed in many ways. One way we support each other is through the ability to trust that our counterpart has our best interests at heart. The overwhelming problem with the cryptocurrency sphere (defined here as everything other than Bitcoin) is that it’s still largely based on an expectation of trust. Whether it’s FTX, Celsius, LUNA or the countless other scams and Ponzis that are sewn into the fabric of the cryptocurrency industry, it’s clear that having centralized entities controlling your value requires you trust the fallible seamstresses and their incentives. It’s like the trust fall; an exercise in which one person lets him- or herself fall without trying to stop it, relying on their friend(s) to catch them. How many times do you allow yourself to fall to the ground before you lose trust?

Kejatuhan baru-baru ini dalam crypto terus menerangi ketidakjujuran yang melekat dalam DNA-nya. Investor tertipu ke dalam rasa aman yang salah dalam hubungan tersebut; itu adalah bentuk komunikasi yang tidak jujur ​​berdasarkan non-transparansi dan sifat pertukaran yang terlalu banyak dimanfaatkan. Mengizinkan manusia untuk mengontrol uang memungkinkan perilaku pengontrol untuk dikodekan ke dalam sistem, yang mengarah pada meningkatnya kebencian dalam hubungan… Hubungan tersebut semakin tegang ketika sisi beracun menempatkan kebutuhan mereka di atas kebutuhan Anda sendiri. Kebutuhan beberapa CEO sering mendorong mereka untuk memanfaatkan kepercayaan pelanggan demi keuntungan mereka. Tampilan perilaku keuangan negatif ini menjadi terlalu umum in the cryptocurrency industry (again, non-Bitcoin-only entities). At some point, as my father would say, we need to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Langkah-langkah Untuk Memperbaiki Hubungan yang Beracun

The first step is to accept responsibility. Not that you caused the situation per se, but that you acknowledge the situation you’re in and begin advocating for yourself. This can be done by investing in yourself. In the context of this article, that investment is education in Bitcoin as well as understanding the unintended consequences of adopting a “digital fiat” mindset present throughout the altcoin and centralized exchange industries. Once we shift from blaming to understanding, we allow ourselves to begin healing. The pain resulting from the recent developments will linger for a while, but it is our responsibility to not dwell on the past but move forward with compassion. The next step in the journey to healing is allowing yourself to be vulnerable again. This can be attained by sharing your self-love with others; calmly and clearly explaining the benefits of Bitcoin, self-custody and proof of reserves to friends and family.

People recovering from a toxic relationship can benefit from finding support. It is the opinion of the author that Bitcoiners should be that support structure. It’s ironic that many Bitcoiners are known as the toxic ones when they are the ones trying to illuminate the toxicity inherent in the ecosystem. That being said, an “I told you so,” doesn’t assist in the healing process. This is the moment where we must rise above and lead with compassion. We should hold space in our heart and allow others the time to heal and change.

There will be many who do not recover from a toxic relationship of this magnitude. While we can continue to educate from a place of humility, we must remember that, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” Everyone will ultimately heal in their own way at their own pace. Some may never learn. We’ve probably all had a friend who’s jumped from one toxic relationship to another. As much as you may want to help, they need to first choose to help themselves. Even more, some people will continue to “Tinder around'' with unhealthy cryptocurrency relationships. That’s their prerogative. If a friend of ours wants to be part of the hookup culture, that’s on them. They have to deal with the consequences of STDs and the like.

Regardless of the actions of certain exchanges or crypto in general, we must continue to espouse the benefits of Bitcoin in a positive light. Tell them how truth is born from trustlessness. Demonstrate how actual decentralization leads to pure democracy. Illuminate how immutability and permissionless systems allow for a free-flowing, cooperative society. Michael Saylor acutely recognized the toxicity we are allowing to proliferate through the perceived connection to crypto. We must choose to move forward towards a bitcoin standard for ourselves, our friends and family, and, ultimately, for society to flourish.
