See everything you are saying is true and I don't disagree with the risks you laid out perfectly. All I'm saying is that we have an intolerant minority of sovereign individuals, who use BTC as a MoE, running their own nodes and are committed to ensuring BTC remains freedom money. If you are using BTC as a MoE and for savings, wherein you hold it self custody, paper BTC+ stoopid regulations have no bearing on you at all. You keep stacking and going about your business.
The biggest issues I see are:
1) most people haven't realized that if they are going to use BTC in any meaningful way and have financial privacy there will have to be willing to be outlaws, because the fiat cartel owns the legal system and will use it to crush any threat to their money printer. That's the real war that folks aren't prepping for and many are going to be culled as a result. You already see it with the ones selling now
2) They are still enamored by price and will welcome any wolf that comes in should he offer a pathway to a higher price or at least tell them that price will go up
3) People still pushing mass adoption narrative. Now that's not me saying that network effects aren't important but just recognizing that trying to appeal to everybody all at once results in appealing to nobody eventually.
There is work to be done, but focus should be on mainly privacy and MoE, imho.
