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 和加密。
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!“ - 迈克尔·塞勒
在大屠杀之中 FTX剧集, 一个清晰的时刻照亮了 Twittersphere。 Michael Saylor 的话是故障火车失事产生的噪音中的信号，被人亲切地称为“加密货币”。 在我们真正理解他的见解之前，我们应该首先思考是什么导致这种关系失调，或者在夫妻治疗的背景下，是一种有毒的关系。
尽管加密货币行业中的许多人都乐于以积极的眼光看待他们与金钱的关系（信任、承诺、支持等），但他们忽视了警告信号，即他们的关系根本不健康。 当然，所有良好的关系都有起伏。 分歧时有发生，但总的来说，你们有共同的目标，并相信对方会把你们的最大利益放在心上。 有一定程度的期望你的伴侣会支持你，开诚布公地交流，并避免控制行为。 这样的生活是自由的，你通常能够蓬勃发展。
但是，如果一方不把你的最大利益放在心上怎么办？ 如果他们不诚实怎么办？ 如果形成不尊重的模式怎么办？ 如果他们无视您的需求怎么办？ 当然，您可以希望改变，但您仍然感到筋疲力尽、压力大、焦虑或沮丧。 最终，你想出去。 您对积极、健康的关系的需求压倒了已知的当前关系的舒适度。 第一步是承认存在问题。 承认有毒关系的迹象是必要的。
有毒关系的迹象

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?
加密货币最近的这些后果继续阐明其 DNA 中固有的不诚实。 投资者被欺骗，在这种关系中产生一种虚假的安全感； 这是一种基于不透明和过度杠杆化交易性质的不诚实交流形式。 允许人类控制金钱允许控制行为被编码到系统中，这会导致关系中越来越多的怨恨......当有毒的一方将他们的需求置于你自己的需求之上时，这种关系会进一步紧张。 一些 CEO 的需求通常会激励他们利用客户的信任来谋取利益。 这种负面金融行为的表现正在成为 太常见了 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.
修复不良关系的步骤

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.
