[ad_1] The public discussion around scaling in the last few years has become poisoned and captured by an incredibly toxic and defeatist attitude: “Why bother?”“Why bother trying to scale? Basic napkin math shows it’s impossible no matter what we do for everyone to self custody.”“Why bother trying to scale? People are stupid and lazy anyway, even if we did people would just use a custodian anyways.”“Why bother trying to scale?

[ad_1] Follow Frank on X. Bitcoin is its own network state, to borrow a term from Balaji Srinivasan. That is, while Bitcoin proponents aren’t bound to one geographical region (quite the opposite, actually) they have collective power and can enact change.We just saw some version of this power exercised in the U.S. political sphere, as the Bitcoin (and crypto) lobby fiercely supported pro-Bitcoin candidates in the recent U.S. election cycle.

Yet, upcoming European regulations under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) threaten to complicate self-custody for Bitcoin users.A New Regulatory EraMiCA, adopted in April 2023, aims to regulate crypto-assets comprehensively in the EU.

In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling…
