I am not just counting on governments attacking #bitcoin. I am looking forward to it.

Cypherpunks went through all kinds of hardship to finally create and build bitcoin to where it is today. Bitcoin has grown up. We can't possibly comprehend the turmoil this generation went through. Yet.

Now it's time for the "then they fight you" period. And we have to be ready. We have to be strong. But no one becomes strong without living through difficulty.

If we are to become a strong generation of bitcoiners, we must endure the attacks. We must develop resilience. This is impossible without real pressure.

So let them come, and make us ever stronger and bitcoin may thrive for millennia. We are only as strong as the hardest thing we endured. And I fear we are too lazy and comfortable yet.

The path ahead thrills me and scares the shit out of me to be honest. But I want to look back on my life with pride and dignity. Self Custody and unwavering bitcoin-only mentality will help me get further.

I am here to stay. I am here to build. I am a bitcoiner and will not go down without a fight. Let them come...
