After FTX Implosion, It's Time To End Bitcoin's Dysfunctional Relationship With Crypto

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

This is an opinion editorial by Tim Niemeyer, a Bitcoiner since circa-2018 and co-host of the Lincolnland Bitcoin Meetup in Springfield, Illinois.

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

Satengahing rajapati nu drama FTX, momen kajelasan cahayana Twittersphere. kecap Michael Saylor urang éta sinyal dina noise hasilna tina trainwreck dysfunctional unaffectionately katelah "crypto".

Tanda Hiji Hubungan toksik

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?

Ieu fallouts panganyarna dina crypto terus nyaangan nu teu jujur ​​alamiah dina DNA na. Investor anu deceived kana rasa palsu kaamanan dina hubungan; Ieu mangrupikeun bentuk komunikasi anu teu jujur ​​dumasar kana non-transparansi sareng sipat séntral anu langkung ageung.

Hubungan ieu salajengna tapis lamun sisi toksik nempatkeun kaperluan maranéhanana payun ti anjeun sorangan. Kabutuhan sababaraha CEO sering ngadorong aranjeunna pikeun ngamangpaatkeun kapercayaan para nasabah pikeun kauntungan kauntungan. Ieu tampilan paripolah finansial négatip ieu jadi sadayana teuing 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.

Léngkah Pikeun Ngalereskeun Hubungan 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.
