The Problem is, there is a fundamental contradiction between what a currency and what a investment is.

Unfortunately, cryptobros can enforce the latter and the system will go from decentral to federated to centralized.

I hope you can understand me.

Yes, I understand that perspective. I'm uninterested in whatever latest hype projects are sucking up money from get-rich-quick investors and it's unfortunate that the general understanding of what cryptocurrencies are has shifted, because that's how you end up with FUD articles that don't differentiate between Bitcoin and other projects.

But ultimately, alt projects don't affect the Bitcoin technology and centralized platforms don't affect anyone's ability to self-custody.
