We shall see if BTC passes this filter.
BTC is already too centralized from a mining pool perspective, not enough people using DATUM or Stratumv2. BTC could already be a ghost at this point.
Must fix, mining pool centralization.
BIP-110 is the test to see if BTC is still free. If corporations are in charge, where it goes next is not nice.

The workflow and requirements are outlined in the link I posted. I'll be trying this at every Square merchant I encounter in the wild.

It looks like this is more limited than I had naively imagined:

Aren't bitcoin payments now enabled by default at all Square merchants?

I would like to see coin control in the software for situations where it's needed, but other than that, this is the absolute easiest path to cold storage for anyone. Especially the non-technical people in your life. Recommended.

Another thoughtful and well reasoned. This is the best thinking I'm seeing in this space.

Everyone with a bc1?? It's not going to happen. Only the wealthiest of the wealthy will own bitcoin UTXO's. Everyone else will just have portions of a single sat on layer 3.

This attacker is playing the long game, waiting for the file storage use case to be entrenched. Timing of the attack is key. The goal is to force a fork and select the most easily controlled version. Kill freedom money by making self-custody and node running difficult.

So we're back to the "gold" problem. The only way to avoid this is self-custody and proof of reserves. Not your keys, not your coins.

If I were a sophisticated nation state actor intent on controlling BTC:
I would be in favor of Corev30 changes, so that it would be easy to SPAM BTC with CSAM, create/enforce regulations so that most sane people would stop running nodes.
Centralization achieved, BTC as freedom money dies.
The debate boils down to: Is the bitcoin network openly supportive or openly hostile to arbitrary data storage?

Nothing beats BTC in self custody. Use BTC treasury companies with money trapped inside the legacy system, such as 401(k).

As a full-time consumer of BTC content, this is the best info and analsys I've read in years. Absolutely a must read!

This is absolutely the best analysis I've read. Bravo!

In order for BTC to survive as freedom money, the blockchain must be as lightweight as possible so as many people as possible can run full nodes.
Anything which compromises this principle should be considered an attack.

I agree in principle.
However, estimating human population into the future is uncertain. The subset who truly understand BTC, is still quite small.
Let us pray that understanding increases.
