Decentralization does not need politicians and there is no negotiation. Especially not with political families.
Bitcoin has passed 125,000 $. A new "historical record," the headlines say. But this value means nothing if it comes from manipulation, from ETFs pushed by institutions, from hype created by elites who want to control the crypto space as well. If the price is dictated by the same actors who control traditional markets, then we are no longer talking about decentralization. We are talking about decoration...hmm!! maybe more than a simulation. Of a currency that seems to have been diverted from its original purpose - that's what i see, that's what i perceive at the moment.
Bitcoin was not created to be validated by political families. Nor to be "boosted" by appearances in the press or symbolic gestures from people who already control the global financial infrastructure. It was created as an alternative. As an exit from the system.
The fact that articles keep coming out claiming that politicians — and their families — have contributed to the rise of Bitcoin seems to me to be an aberration. It’s a recycled, superficial narrative that completely ignores the logic of decentralization. When political elites start “supporting” crypto, it’s not a good sign. It’s a red flag. It means they want to control this space too. To regulate it, to direct it, to turn it into a new tool of influence. Exactly what we should be avoiding.
Decentralization is not a trend. It’s not a picture of a politician holding an NFT. It’s not a vague statement about “supporting innovation.” It’s an architecture. It’s a system choice. It’s a rejection of centralized control, including that exercised through families, networks of influence, or government structures.
- When political elites start “supporting” crypto, we have to ask ourselves: what infrastructures do they already control? What token portfolios are managed through intermediary firms? What regulations are written in closed offices, with the aim of domesticating what should remain free?
Real decentralization does not need political validation. It needs transparency, communities that understand what they are defending, and people who do not accept compromises. Bitcoin does not grow because a politician smiled in an interview. It grows because people are looking for an alternative. A system that cannot be confiscated by decree or regulation. I do not believe in crypto validated by elites. I believe in crypto preserved by communities. No branding. No decoration. No influence.
I do not care about political validation. I do not care what a president “supports” or what crypto projects his family promotes. If the crypto infrastructure ends up being run by the same people who control banks, governments, and the media, then the whole decentralization thing becomes a joke....meaning everything that has been built is lost - will be lost.
Programmers, developers should not build for themselves, but for those who understand the difference between token and control. And who know that digital freedom does not come with approval from above.
Just watch and try to listen to what is said in the video below. Bitcoin's value no longer comes from the community. It comes from ETFs, from institutional decisions, from regulations that transform a free currency into a controlled asset. Caitlin Long says it clearly: Bitcoin is no longer what it used to be. If we accept this new paradigm without challenging it, then.....what is actually happening??
